Courses
DDT 104: BASIC COMPUTER AIDED DRAFTING AND DESIGN
Credits 3This course provides an introduction to basic Computer Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) functions and techniques, using ‘hands on’ applications. Topics include terminology, hardware, basic CADD and operating system functions, file manipulation, and basic CADD software applications in producing softcopy and hardcopy.
DDT 117: MANUFACTURING PROCESSES
Credits 3This course in materials and processes includes the principles and methodology of material selection, application, and manufacturing processes. Emphasis is directed to solids to include material characteristics, castings, forging, and die assemblies. Upon completion, students should be able to discuss and understand the significance of materials’ properties, structure, basic manufacturing processes, and express and interpret material specifications.
DDT 124: BASIC TECHNICAL DRAWING
Credits 3This course covers sections, auxiliary views, and basic space geometry. Emphasis will be placed on the theory as well as the mechanics of applying sections, basic dimensioning, auxiliary views, and basic space geometry.
DDT 144: BASIC 3D MODELING
Credits 3This course is an introduction to 3D solid modeling techniques utilizing feature-based, constraint-based parametric design. This course encourages the student to visualize parts in the 3D world and have a “design intent” plan for each part in which they will design. Upon completion of the course students should be able to create basic 3D models and 2D working drawings.
DDT 220: ADVANCED TECHNICAL DRAWING
Credits 3This course covers the methods of providing size description and manufacturing information for production drawings. Emphasis will be placed on accepted dimensioning and tolerancing practices including Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing for both the Customary English System and the ISO System. Upon completion, students should be able to apply dimensions, tolerances, and notes to drawings to acceptable standards, including Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing, and produce drawings using and specifying common threads and various fasteners, including welding methods.
DDT 225: STRUCTURAL STEEL DRAFTING
Credits 3This course covers the theory and practical applications necessary to understand the basic design and terminology of structural steel components used in light commercial buildings. Emphasis is placed on structural steel techniques, bolted and welding connections, framing plans, sections, fabrication and connection details, and bills of material. Upon completion, students should be able to produce engineering and shop drawings incorporating standards shapes, sizes, and details using the A.I.S.C. Manual and incorporating safety practices.
DDT 236: DESIGN PROJECT
Credits 3This course allows the student to plan, execute, and present results of an individual design project. Emphasis is placed on attainment of skills related to a project agreed upon by the Instructor and student. The student will be able to demonstrate and apply competencies identified and agreed upon between the student and instructor.
