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 drafting and design (CADD). They will learn graphic geometry, projection
theory, visualization methods, pictorial sketching, geometric (solid) modeling techniques,
documentation practices, and data reporting. They will also become familiar with the
application of geometric modeling to engineering design analysis, manufacturing, and
construction. The course will include an introduction to the modern engineering design graphics
process through a team project resulting in the creation of 3D rapid prototype models.

Time Required- BOTH ME 210 & ME 302:

On a weekly basis there will be 2 hours of lecture and manual sketching lab, 3 hours of CADD lab,
and 3 hours of sketching and reading to be done at home. The time for work at home is estimated
for an average student; 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 - 4:00PM 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. Each unexcused absence will reduce the final grade by 1%. Coming to the class
late or leaving the room early will as a rule count as an absence.
Sheet Deadlines:

Your instructor will assign specific deadlines when manual sheets are due. CADD sheets are due
at the end of that CADD Lab. Late sheets 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 sheets 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 or classrooms 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, 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 or with Dr. Krueger in ETC
3.154.

• All quizzes should be returned to instructor before leaving classroom. Taking them out of the
classroom or leaving them unattended in the classroom will be considered as scholastic dishonesty
resulting in an F-grade for the course.

Goals:

This course is a combination of lectures, projects 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. Team work, ethics, student work habits, and
technical reporting skills.

Impact on Subsequent Courses in Curriculum: Lays foundation for subsequent design courses in
Kinematics (ME324), Machine Elements (ME338), and Design Methodology (ME366J).
