Design and Development (ETDD)

ETDD 1361. Engineering Graphics. 3 Hours. [TCCN: ENGR 1304]

Students are introduced to fundamental engineering drawing practices, including orthographic projection, isometric drawing, geometric construction, sectioning, and dimensioning using drafting equipment. The course also develops skills in freehand sketching and two-dimensional CAD renderings. Course Equivalents: ITEC 1361 .

ETDD 2363. Architectural Design. 3 Hours. [TCCN: ARCH 2603]

Students are introduced to the fundamentals of residential architectural design principles and drafting techniques. They will develop a complete set of plans and specifications for a small residence, applying concepts of space planning, building codes, and material selection. Emphasis may be placed on industry-standard drawing conventions, dimensioning, detailing, and presentation techniques using computer-aided design (CAD) tools. Additional focus includes the implementation of sustainability principles and electrical layout design. Credit: 3. Course Equivalents: ITEC 2363, ETCM 2363
Prerequisite: ETDD 1390 or ETDD 1361 or ETCM 1363 or FACS 1360 or FACS 2364.

ETDD 3310. Product Design & Development. 3 Hours.

Students explore the processes by which products are brought to the marketplace. Emphasis may be placed on manufacturing, prototyping, patent and trademark procedures, industrial design, problem solving, and decision-making. The course also addresses creating and working in cross-functional teams to develop products for consumer use. Course Equivalents: ITEC 3310
Prerequisite: Sophomore standing, ETDD 1390 or ETDD 1361.

ETDD 3366. Intro to Virtual and Augmented Reality. 3 Hours.

Students learn and apply the foundational skill set for Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) development and design. Topics include 3D modeling, C# Scripting, and publication for Android or iOS mobile devices.

ETDD 3379. Industrial Design & Drafting. 3 Hours.

Students learn to illustrate and prepare drawings and related symbol systems used in electrical and fluid fields. The course also covers essential piping and fitting fundamentals required for technical drafting applications. Course Equivalents: ITEC 3379
Prerequisite: ETDD 1390 or ETDD 1361 and Sophomore standing.

ETDD 3388. 3-Dimensional Parametric Design. 3 Hours.

This is a computer applications course for parametric design and drafting, in which the computer is used to produce parametric technical models/drawings. Students will learn drafting practices and how to apply them using computer aided software. Students will further be able to produce technical drawings using 3D CAD packages. Concepts of creating 2D drawings will be covered along with introduction to 3D parametric modeling. The course will enable the student to use Autodesk Inventor in advanced parametric design/drafting and other courses. Course Equivalents: ETDD 4388
Prerequisite: ETDD 1390 or ETDD 1361.

ETDD 4339. Advanced Computer-Aided Drafting and Modeling. 3 Hours.

Students are introduced to computer applications used in design and drafting, learning the techniques required to produce technical models and drawings. They will study drafting practices and apply them using computer-aided design (CAD) software. While prior experience with drafting software or computers is helpful, it is not required. Students will produce technical drawings using various digital design and drafting methods, covering 2D drawing concepts and an introduction to three-dimensional parametric modeling. The course is intended to build foundational knowledge and skills applicable to any CAD system. Course Equivalents: ITEC 4339
Prerequisite: ETDD 1361 and Junior standing.

ETDD 4369. Special Topic. 3 Hours.

This course of faculty-led study is designed to provide exposure of undergraduate students to new engineering design development topics and concepts in a course setting. This course is designed to be a multi-topic course. The student can take the course under various special topics being offered.
Prerequisite: ETEC 1010, ETDD 1361, and Junior Standing.

ETDD 4380. Material Hand & Plant Layout. 3 Hours.

Students study the fundamental requirements for developing efficient layouts of equipment and operating or service facilities in manufacturing plants, warehouses, and other industrial or business environments. Special emphasis may be placed on coordinating plant layout with materials handling, work simplification, production planning, and operation control. Course Equivalents: ITEC 4380
Prerequisite: ETDD 1361 and Junior standing.
