Technical Communication

The objective of this course is to provide students with the tools necessary for technical communication in mechanical engineering, with an emphasis on reading technical drawings, technical drawing (vocabulary, rules of technical drawing, projections, intersections, cross-sections, components, etc.), and the creation of virtual models using CAD software (SolidWorks).

• read a technical drawing of moderate difficulty
• identify standard mechanical components on a drawing
• Identify how a moderately complex mechanical system works based on a general diagram
• Draw a part from multiple views, following the rules of projection
• Identify and draw the intersections of a cylinder and a plane, two cylinders, a plane and a cone, and a cylinder and a cone
• draw cross-sectional views and sections
• Extract a part from a medium-difficulty assembly drawing
• use of the basic functions of SolidWorks software (Part, Assembly, and Drawing modes)
