Course Description
The course is an introduction to computer-aided design (CAD). This course will introduce
graphical communication as a tool in documenting the results of an engineering design.
Emphasis is placed on the use of Computer Aided Drafting and 3-D Solid Modeling systems
to prepare working drawings packages of basic components and assemblies. Students
combine the practice of sketching along with computer-based solid modeling to produce a
parametric design. At the conclusion of the course, students will be able to prepare working
drawings, with appropriate views, dimensions, title blocks, and bill of materials.

Course Outcomes
This course will focus on the production of engineering drawings. An engineering drawing is
defined here as one that contains all necessary orthographic, auxiliary, and section views;
dimensions with tolerances; and common annotations.
1. Students will be able to sketch all fundamental components of an engineering drawing given
either a physical 3D part or an isometric view of a part.
2. Students will be able to create a basic engineering drawing using AutoCAD.
3. Students will be able to create an isometric sketch of a part by interpreting orthographic
views.
4. Students will be able to use orthographic views to create parametric models of both parts and
assemblies using SolidWorks, followed by creation of an engineering drawing.

Engineering Program Goals fulfilled by this course

The goals of the Department of Engineering fulfilled by this course are to first, teach students
how to read and interpret engineering drawings and sketches, and second, to be able to create
an engineering drawing using either AutoCAD or SolidWorks.

Descriptions of grading categories:

In-Class Assignments will be based on material covered in class and may require cumulative
knowledge.
The Midterm Exams: will be worth 30% percent each. The first will be performed using
AutoCAD and the second using SolidWorks. There is no makeup for missed exams.
The Final Project will be worth 20% percent of the grade and will be performed using
AutoCAD and SolidWorks. There is an individual project.

Course Policies and Expectations

While You Are in the Class
Students should be alert and willing to participate in class activities and discussions and
refrain from having disruptive conservations during class.
Students must bring to the class: a copy of the textbook, a notebook for writing course notes,
a calculator, all the relevant notes and handouts for the course, the needed stationery, and a
copy of the syllabus.
Personal laptops, tablets, and cell phones are not to be used in class, except to view electronic
copies of the book. Anyone who doesnt respect that will be asked to leave the classroom and
marked absent for that lecture.
Students are not allowed during the class lecture to study any other material beyond the
course subject and will be asked to leave the classroom and marked absent for that lecture.
All students need to put away newspapers, magazines or any other non-relevant items.
Food and beverages are prohibited in the classroom.
Late Work / Missed Work
There will be no make-ups for missed assignments or exams. Please tell the professor as soon
as possible if you have exceptional circumstances that might cause you to miss class. The
further in advance you communicate your situation, the more likely it is that we can find a
satisfactory solution.
Grade Disputes
Any questions about a grade earned on a quiz or a test should be brought to the instructor no
later than one week from the day of receiving the quiz or test marks. Any dispute after the
seven days will be denied. If there is a dispute concerning the final grade for the course,
students have the right to make a formal grade appeal within the period set by the Registrar
office. Details on this process can be found in the Academic Catalog.
Incomplete Grades
In the unlikely event that it becomes necessary to assign an I, for incomplete, as the final
grade in the course, the affected student(s) and professor will adhere to the incomplete grade
policy in the Academic Catalog.

Attendance
Students are expected to attend all scheduled classes, arrive on time, and remain in class until
dismissed. Tardiness and early departure are disruptive for students and the teacher and are
unacceptable.
For classes that meet twice a week: As per university policy, at the sixth absence the student
will be dismissed from the course with a grade of F.
These cutoffs are absolute. Per university policy as stated in the Academic Catalog, there are
no excused absences. At the penultimate absence, the professor must notify students via email that they are in danger of failing the course, with a copy to the Dean of Students.

Expectations of Student Time

Courses of three credit-hours: AUIS adheres to the United States federal definition of a
credit hour, as established by the US Department of Education. As a three credit-hour course,
you are expected to attend three hours of direct instruction per week, and spend a minimum
of six hours out of class per week in homework, studying, preparing, and otherwise engaging
with the material of this course.

Academic Integrity
Academic Integrity is honest behavior in a school setting. Academic integrity is more than
the absence of cheating. It is necessary for students to truly learn new skills and develop as
human beings. By struggling with her own studies and by making honest mistakes and
discoveries, a student learns about the world and herself. Using anothers work
inappropriately prevents this intellectual and emotional growth.
Academic Dishonesty (cheating) is any form of deceit, fraud, or misrepresentation in
academic work. Academic dishonesty is the opposite of learning, because it prevents the
student-writer from genuinely learning and responding to material. Plagiarism is one of the
most serious forms of academic dishonesty.
Plagiarism is using other peoples ideas and/or words without clearly acknowledging the
source of the information. If a student uses content or grammatical structures from the
internet, a professional writer, or another student and does not inform the reader, he
plagiarizes. A student who allows another student to use his writing without attribution is also
guilty of plagiarism.
Cheating will not be tolerated in this class. A student found to be cheating for the first time
will receive a zero for the assignment and the Dean of Students will be notified. In the event
of a second offense confirmed by the Dean of Students, the student will fail the course. A
third instance of cheating will result in that student being dismissed from the American
University of Iraq, Sulaimani. Students are directed to the AUIS Honor Code and the
Academic Integrity policy section of the Academic Catalog (available online at
www.auis.edu.iq). These documents provide guidance in cases of academic dishonesty, so we
should all be familiar with them.
