EGT 1100 Print Reading 3 Credits
Focuses on the interpretation of mechanical shop and working drawings. Examines drawing formats, view selection, hardware, symbols, dimensioning, and tolerancing systems utilizing the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standard.
EGT 1101 Mechanical Design I 3 Credits
Provides the training to develop skillsets on how to produce technical drawings utilizing the latest technologies. Course will develop skills in hand lettering/sketching techniques and the use of a Computer Aided Design (CAD) based drawing system. Course covers how to develop technical drawings demonstrating multi-view orthographic projections, auxiliary views, section views, and beginning dimensioning concepts based on ANSI/ASME standards.
EGT 1102 Mechanical Design II 3 Credits
Provides the training and skillsets on how to produce technical drawings that include hardware, threads, springs, and pattern developments. Develops skills on the application of dimensioning systems and the application of applying tolerances to produce baseline, ordinate, tabulated, chart, and rectangular coordinate dimensioning based on American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standards.
Prerequisite(s): EGT 1101 with a minimum grade of C or EGT 101 with a minimum grade of C
EGT 1110 IDEA: Introduction to Design and Engineering Applications 3 Credits
Provides students with opportunities to engage with an industry client on a real-world, open-ended engineering design problem. Students will develop professional skills and knowledge using Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) as a primary tool. The course covers human-centered design and the role of engineering in a sustainable society. Students will cultivate an understanding of the differences in engineering disciplines while working in interdisciplinary teams. Written and verbal communication skills will also be covered.

EGT 2303 Applied Dimension and Tolerance 3 Credits
Focuses on industrial dimensioning practices, enables the student to develop skills in dimensioning techniques and learn to apply the ASME Y14.5 dimensioning standard.
EGT 2305 Geometric Dimension & Tolerance 3 Credits
Focuses on interpreting and applying geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GDT) in machining or drafting per the ASME Y14.5 specification. Demonstrate and distinguish GDT through math formulas, tolerancing systems, modifiers, symbols, datums, and tolerances of form, profile, orientation, run-out and location. Students examine and interpret the generation of a working drawing, and how they are developed as a team effort between design, drafting, manufacturing and quality control.
EGT 2310 Mechanical Design III 3 Credits
Provides the training and skillsets to produce industrial working drawings and working models based on ASME standards. Examines industry based design management models and the process of controlling drawing revisions. Design concepts for linkages, gears, bearings, belt drives, and chain drives will be covered. Examines part function and their relationships to develop detail, assembly, and subassembly drawings including a list of materials.
