ME 210 & 302 Course Objectives:

To instruct students on modern graphics and modeling fundamentals for engineering design. Students will
become proficient in freehand sketching, geometric modeling, and its application to computer-aided
design (CAD). They will learn graphic projection theory, visualization methods, pictorial sketching, solid
modeling techniques, documentation practices, and data reporting. They will also become familiar with
the application of geometric modeling to engineering design analysis and manufacturing. The course will
include an introduction to the modern engineering design graphics process through a team project resulting
in the creation of 3-D rapid prototype models.

Textbook: A Set of Free PDF’s Will Be Provided in Lieu of a Textbook.

Workbook: Barr, et al, ENGINEERING & COMPUTER GRAPHICS WORKBOOK, using SolidWorks
latest version. Schroff Development Corporation, Mission, Kansas. (Each Individual Needs a Copy)

Equipment: Required

1 – Laptop Computer with Mouse and Fully Capable of Running SOLIDWORKS software.
1 - Mechanical Pencil: 0.7 mm (fixed sleeve), supplied with HB lead.
1 - 10" 30x60x90 Transparent Triangle.
1 - Eraser, Soft Plastic Block or Pencil Type.
1 - USB Drive with at least 2 G-bytes of storage

Equipment: Optional

None
Time Required:

There will be two, 2-hour labs each week. A weekly schedule has been prepared and will be distributed
in another document. There may need to be more time spent at home to complete the sketching, computer
modeling, and design project assignments. The time for work at home may vary, some may need less
time and some may need more time. ME 302 Students are assigned an additional lecture hour on
Mondays from 3:00 - 4:00 PM or 4:00 – 5:00 PM.

Absences:

Only absences due to a good reason and supported by a written statement from your physician, minister,
or clerk of court are excused absences. The statement should include the writer's name, function and
phone. A student with an excused absence will get full attention and help to make up the missed work.
If you are going to be absent, let your team members know in advance.

Work Deadlines:

Your instructor will assign specific deadlines for when the work is due. Late work will be excused
under the same conditions as absences. Unexcused late sheets will get a grade reduced 20% if one
period late, and no credit if more than one period late. Excused late work should be made up outside of
regularly scheduled time, so that the current work can be kept up.

Class Conduct:

 No food or beverages in the labs at any time.

 Please remember to practice courtesy in the classroom.

 You may leave the room temporarily without permission, but you are responsible for any
announcements, work assignments, team project, etc., that may take place while you were out.

Miscellaneous:

 Found materials should be turned in to your instructor.

 Put your name on all your textbooks, notebooks, equipment, etc. Your telephone number in
textbooks would allow us to notify you if they are turned in to our office. If you lose or leave any book
or piece of equipment in a classroom, check with your instructor.

 All quizzes are individual quizzes, and students are expected to uphold the University rules on
scholastic honesty and code of conduct. (see below)

 Many assignments will have team grades and each team member will share the exact same grade for
that assignment. If there is a problem within the team, please report it to the instructor immediately and
do not wait until the end of the semester.

Scholastic Dishonesty:

See the UT Honor Code (or statement of ethics) and an explanation or example of what constitutes plagiarism at
this link to University Honor Code: http://registrar.utexas.edu/catalogs/gi09-10/ch01/index.html )
Course Goals:

This course is a combination of short lectures, project work, and graphics instruction to help prepare
you for your career as an engineering student and a professional engineer. A design graphics team project
will be assigned and will require integrating various aspects of the course into a final team project.

Knowledge, Abilities, and Skills Students Should Have Before Entering This Course: Mathematics at
the level of Elementary Functions and Coordinate Geometry (M 305G)

Knowledge, Abilities, and Skills Students Should Gain From This Course: Introductory knowledge of
Mechanical Engineering professional practices. Graphical communication skills including sketching
and computer modeling. as well as team work, ethics, student work habits, and technical reporting skills.

Impact on Subsequent Courses in Curriculum: Lays foundation for subsequent design courses in
Kinematics (ME314D), Machine Elements (ME338), and Design Methodology (ME366J).

ABET STUDENT OUTCOMES ACHIEVED:

This course contributes to the following ME Program Outcomes ().

Outcome
1. an ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by
applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.
2. an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified
needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, 
cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
3. an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences. 
4. an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering
situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of
engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts.
5. an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide
leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan 
tasks, and meet objectives.
6. an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret

data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions.
7. an ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning

strategies.

Instituted College Policy

An undergraduate in the College of Engineering may not enroll in any course required in his or her
engineering degree plan more than once without written consent of an advisor in his or her department.
If you fail to secure written consent to repeat a course and are enrolled in the course, your registration
may be deleted. If you are denied approval to repeat a required course, you will be placed in the
undeclared major code and must consider other degree options.
