Course Description
Introduction to graphical communication tools. Design and graphical solutions to two and threedimensional design problems. Development of visualization and technical sketching skills in conjunction
with pictorial projections. Individual design project. Focus on computer-aided drawing and design.
1 unit course, three hours lecture/lab.
Success in this course is based on the expectation that students will spend, for each unit of credit, a
minimum of forty-five hours over the length of the course (normally 3 hours per unit per week with 1 of the
hours used for lecture) for instruction or preparation/studying or course related activities including but not
limited to internships, labs, clinical practical. Other course structures will have equivalent workload
expectations as described in the syllabus.
Prerequisites: none
Recommended Text: AutoCAD tutorial, and SolidWorks tutorial
Visit Autodesk.com to down load a free copy of 2014 version of AutoCAD

Department Policy on Computer Lab Use: Use of the department and college computer labs is a
privilege that can be lost by abuse. The following are grounds for loss of lab privileges:
Unauthorized copying of software, either from the computer, or using the computer.
Installation of any software, media, or files that are not specifically required to do your class
activities. You may not install messenger, music, gaming, or any other software program on
computers in the lab.
Abuse of computers or hacking or modifying the operating system, user interface, or desktop in
any way.
Loss of your computer lab privileges would mean that it will be up to you to arrange to meet your lab
requirements outside of the campus computer labs.
Academic Integrity: Your own commitment to learning, as evidenced by your enrollment at San Jos
State University, and the Universitys Academic Integrity Policy requires you to be honest in all your
academic course work. Faculty members are required to report all infractions to the Office of Judicial
Affairs. All students should review the Academic Integrity Policy on cheating and plagiarism, copy of the
policy can be found on the website at http://www2.sjsu.edu/senate/s04-12.pdf., The guidelines on
collaboration for this class, and the consequence of cheating and plagiarism will be discussed in the class.
Campus policy in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act: If you need course
adaptations or accommodations because of a disability, or if you need special arrangements in case the
building must be evacuated, please make an appointment with me as soon as possible, or see me during
office hours. Presidential Directive 97-03 requires that students with disabilities requesting
accommodations must register with DRC to establish a record of their disability.
Course Goals
The course goals are:
To help students visualize three dimensional objects.
To introduce students to technical freehand sketching (pictorials).
To introduce students to computer-aided design tools, 2D and 3D (parametric modeling).
To introduce the students to engineering design process through a design project and lab. work.
Student Learning Objectives
The students should be able to:
Freehand sketch a 3D view of an object (isometric, oblique and perspective).
Draw complicated two dimensional views of an object using AutoCAD.
Create three dimensional objects using SolidWorks (solid modeling package).
Understand the engineering design process and the implementation of different design phases.

Design Project Spring 2014
Design students can be motivated to learn many of the theoretical and abstract concepts of engineering
science and analysis by embedding those concepts in practical, real world, design problems. This careful
melding of design and analysis can help design students strengthen their synthesis skills and appreciate
the practical value of much of their analysis-oriented courses.
The design project for this course is intended to familiarize you with some of the fundamental design
phases involved. For this design project you are required to:
1. Identify design problems (recognition of a need).
2. Explore alternative solutions (conceptual design).
3. Present your most promising solution.
Milestones have been set in order to keep you on schedule which will help you complete the project in a
timely fashion.
Design Project Schedule

Product list due date Week 4 (2/19), turn in the list to the lab. instructor.
You are asked to come up with 5 ideas for either new products or modification of an existing product.
Think of things that bug you, that you wish someone would come up with a solution for or those
existing products that you think could be better designed. The list should only include ideas that can be
built physically. Ideas like solving the traffic problem is not suitable for this course. Turn in the list to
the lab. instructor for review and feedback.
Product sketch due (the problem) Week 7 (3/12), turn in the sketch to the lab. instructor.
After discussion with the lab and/or lecture instructor, choose your most interesting idea and graphically
communicate your idea by sketching (3D freehand) the problem, use color and cartooning.
Solution sketch (the solution) Week 11, (4/9), turn in the sketch to the lab. instructor.
After brainstorming possible solutions, choose the most promising one (with the help of the instructor)
and make a sketch (3D freehand) of the solution. Make sure you include as much detail as you have
thought of. Use color and cartooning. Your sketch should be self explanatory.
Design documentation Weeks 13 and 14
Three lab periods are set aside for you to work on documenting your solution using solid modeling
capabilities of Inventor. Work on your design during the lab. periods.
The following items should be included in your final report.
1) Cover page with a description of your idea, 1-2 pages.
2) Three dimensional freehand sketch of the problem (on one page)
3) Three dimensional freehand sketch of the solution (on one page)
4) 3D assembly and exploded views of the product in color (SolidWorks)
5) 2D (orthographic) views of the product with overall dimensions (SolidWorks), on one page
Design Project deliverables are due by Tuesday May 13, 5:00 pm. Leave the project reports
in Youssefis mailbox in room 310 (ME office). No late project will be accepted.
