ECAD 1023 - Blueprint Reading for Renewable Energy

Credits: 3
Hours/Week: Lecture NoneLab None
Course Description: This course is designed to give students an understanding of the concepts required to read industrial blueprints in the Renewable Energy fields. Topics include sketching, multi-view drawing, symbols to include welding and electrical, scaling, dimensioning, finishes, screw threads, auxiliary and assembly drawings, an introduction to Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing. Also covered is an introduction to Autodesk Design Review software. Restriction: Closed to students who have already earned credit for ECAD 1020 - Interpreting Engineering Drawings .
MnTC Goals
None

Prerequisite(s): None
Corequisite(s): None
Recommendation: Arithmetic assessment score of 64 or higher or elementary algebra assessment score of 76 or higher OR assessment score/ACT score placement into MATH 0070  or above OR completion MATH 0030  or MATH 0060  with a grade of C or higher. We strongly encourage students who score below 64 to meet with an advisor or counselor to discuss their review and course options PRIOR to Math assessment retesting or registering for a MATH course.
