Homework/Video Tutorial Assignments:

In an effort to help introduce students to the complex area of drafting and design, the instructor will assign students a series of reading selections as well as complementary homework assignments to reiterate and emphasize important information discussed in the text. To help students better learn the 3D modeling software, students will be assigned a series of video tutorials to watch along with a part to model that utilizes the processes discussed throughout the tutorials. At the conclusion of major sections, students will be given a comprehensive assignment that allows the students to practice those skills covered in class. The tutorials, lectures, and homework assignments will help provide students with a thorough understanding of the most commonly used functions and practices in developing 2D and 3D parametric models and mechanical drawings. These assignments will help prepare students for the more complex projects that will be assigned later in the semester. Most assignments will be able to be completed in class, however if additional time is needed the student is expected to arrange times to come into the computer lab during the 8-5 work day, attend open labs, or finish the project on his/her own computer. First refer to the T.A. schedule for open lab times or if additional times are needed, speak with the instructor. Due dates will be assigned at the beginning of each project and students are expected to turn the assignments in at the beginning of the class on said due date. LATE WORK WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

Tests and Quizzes:

While students will primarily be tested over the concepts and principles related to parametric modeling and material presented in lecture, students should also expect to have a modeling component to each exam, in which a model will be generated and a mechanical drawing produced. Students should expect regular 5-10 min. quiz each week that covers topics as discussed in class and in the text. Such quizzes will be open note (hand written). Content will range from the information presented in class to information presented in the readings and video tutorials. The point value of each test or quiz will be announced prior to its taking however, the weight of tests versus quizzes are dependent upon the amount of material covered.

Projects and Presentations:

As the semester progresses, students will be assigned more significant projects that will include developing parametric models and mechanical drawings of complex components and simple assemblies. Such projects may involve students using precision measurement instruments to reverse engineer given components to complete the projects. Other projects will include learning the process of rapid prototyping by printing one part on the 3D printer. Projects will be conducted both individually and in small groups, thus it is essential that students are present, active, and participating. As such, some projects may require students to conduct out of class meetings and schedule times to come into the lab. At the completion of group projects, students will be expected to provide a 10-15 minute presentation on the work conducted. Students will also have the opportunity to evaluate the contributions that each group member made to the completion of the project. Such evaluations will be taken into consideration when assigning a final grade. All evaluations will be done so in confidence.

Portfolio:
Students are expected to keep a portfolio that contains class notes, handouts, homework/workbook assignments, and design projects (hand sketches, notes, models, drawings, and presentations). This portfolio is intended to help the students build organizational skills as well as develop a useful document to be used when applying and interviewing for potential careers. This portfolio will assist in measuring the students achievements and growth in understanding fundamental principles of parametric modeling, the ability to document information throughout the design process, as well as provide concrete examples of the complexity with which the student is able to design. Students will have the option of submitting this portfolio in paper form, electronically, or a combination of the two.

Architectural Drawings:
During the last few weeks of class, students will switch focus from Autodesk Inventor to an architectural software package. Students will work on designing an energy efficient home to be built by Habitat for Humanity during the upcoming summer. Students will work in teams of 3-5 to produce a complete set of architectural drawings as well as present their designs to a group of representatives from Habitat for Humanity, CS lab, and Toyota Tsusho. As part of the project, students will be expected to develop both a 3D model of a house, as well as a complete set of architectural drawings (i.e. elevation drawings, foundation plans, floor plans, and site plan). These documents are expected to be arranged and submitted in a portfolio format for review and grading.

Attendance Policy:
Due to the nature of this course attendance is highly recommended. If you are not on time to class, the room door will be locked without entry until the lecture is over. There will be a sign in sheet for the class. If an absence is unavoidable, the student is expected to notify the instructor prior to the absence and make arrangements with the instructor to demonstrate the absence was made up (i.e. written

report). This is solely the responsibility of the student. Failure to make up an absence will be reflected in the final grade. Absences in excess of two will result in the lowering of the final grade. The penalty is one letter grade per absence for all absences over two. Every two tardies will be equated to one absence. Missed tests will not be made up (unless the instructor determines the excuse is valid). Note that Moodle will not reflect the effect that absences have on your grade. Medical related absences are only excusable after being deemed so by the professor. Example: Mr. Doe received a B+ based on the quality of work turned in, however he missed 3 courses and failed to make up any of them. Therefore, while Moodle shows that Mr. Doe earned a B+ in the course, he will receive a C+ as his final grade. Disability Statement for Course Syllabus
