EG4. 459 Kinematics Drafting
Introduces mechanisms that translate motion and force, including cams, gears, belts/pulleys, and chains/sprockets. Emphasizes the use of CAD software for simple mechanical part drawings, expanding into process flow diagrams and electrical diagrams. Introduces components such as ratchet pawls, linkages, and levers. Covers the creation of drawings for stock (shelf) items and custom designs. Audit available
Prerequisite
EG4. 421 Introduction to AutoCAD,

Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Create technical mechanical drawings using kinematics principles. Apply American National Standards Institute-American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ANSI-ASME) industry standards in the preparation of technical mechanical drawings. Research and apply online resources to identify parts and incorporate them in the preparation of technical mechanical drawings. Utilize the Machinery's Handbook to determine the correct size tolerance for detail parts on technical mechanical drawings.
