Due to the large amount of material to be covered in the class, I highly advise
that you read the materials to be covered in class PRIOR to coming to class.
Office Hours Monday 6-6:50pm (I may be in 9-117) - Tuesdays, 10-10:50 am (I may be in
17-2654)
To help ensure that there is sufficient time for you to discuss matters that
are important to you and minimize scheduling conflict, please make an
appointment by sending a calendar invite to wddavis@cpp.edu. On the
subject line, please indicate which course you would like to discuss and a
short description of the topic to be discussed (e.g., MFE 126 - Review
Midterm #1)
COURSE OBJECTIVE:
Engineering graphics for product design, manufacturing and construction. Emphasis on graphic
communication used for processing parts and layouts. Orthographic projection, pictorial views, section
and auxiliary views, dimensioning for production-processing, and the four fundamental views of
descriptive geometry. Use of instruments and CAD for engineering drawings.
NOTE: The laboratory content of the class is subordinate to the lecture content. The laboratory
instruction will be instructed in the major elements of the computer package being used that are
common to similar computer programs. The student is expected to be able to read references to solve
minor difficulties that arise due to the nature of the specific program being used.
PREREQUISITE: None

o In class/lab, there will be 3 STACKS of papers of assignment due for the day:
1. First is for Jensen
2. Second is for Howard, and
3. the 3rdone is for Redos with ORIGINAL attached.
o Put yours on the appropriate pile. Staple each of these Individual assignments in
the UPPER LEFT HAND CORNER and put each in the appropriate pile.
For ALL assignments/quizzes, to receive credits, please include the following information on
every piece of paper and/or drawings you are submitting. (HINT: The instructor may not be
able to give you the proper credit without this information. It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to be
very clear. Handwritten is fine but make sure it is readable.)
1. Last Name, First Name as it is shown in the class roster/Bronco Direct e.g. Name:
Smith, Jonathan (not Smith, Jon)
2. Full Bronco ID e.g. BID: 123-456-789
3. Course#/Quarter e.g. MFE 126/Fall 2011
4. Assignment # e.g. Assignment#: Ch. 1 Tutorial Flange - fig. 1.98
5. Due date of Assignment e.g. Due Date: 10/5/2011
6. Page X of Y (if you are turning in multiple pages this is the entire package you are
submitting for the particular pile) e.g. Page 1 of 5
EXAMPLE:
appear in the upper right hand corner of the particular piece of work, which stands for
REDO. One week will be given to correct the assignment. Staple and turn in your
corrected work along with the paper originally submitted for grading. Place this in a
separate stack for the redo assignments. Multiple failure may result in an F grade
for the course.
o Proof read your work product. I am NOT the proof reader. So watch for your mistakes.
Repetitive evidence of not proof reading your work product may become costly.
The class will be separated into working groups to peer review each others assignments prior to grading
by the instructor. Each member of this group will be required to review the drawings of the other two
Page 3 of 13
prior to submitting to the instructor. Flagrant errors will be penalized harshly as you have multiple
people who are checking these documents. As engineers ..."We must get it right!"
o After this is assigned, the laboratory assignments must be turned in with the
respective checklists(where appropriate) or will not be accepted. (See checklist
towards the end of the syllabus. The instructor reserves the right to update/revise the
checklist throughout the quarter. Updated version will be posted in the Blackboard).
Expect a quiz on every laboratory day, at the beginning of the lab. No make-up on
missed quizzes.
Late work will be considered only on a case by case basis (emergencies, etc.) and only if turned
in promptly after the deadline. Penalties for late assignments will be imposed and tend to be
severe. But remember, some credit is better than no credit..and you do not learn anything if
you do not make an attempt!
As many students will prefer to do laboratory work at home, they may leave the laboratory
session ONLY after the quiz has been taken, their work has been graded and returned, and any
announcements or instruction are finished.
Jensen HW solutions: The instructor will attempt to make the solutions available. Once they are
ready, instructor will inform you (via Blackboard) as to how to access them.
You may download a student version of Solidworks for your personnel computer. This is a 9-
month "freebee" with very limited Solidworks assistance. Depending on your internet
connection, it may take over 3.5 hours to download& install!

WARNING If you plan to use the computers at Cal Poly lab as well as your own
laptop/computer at home, be sure that you download the same version as the
one installed in the lab. Otherwise, you may run into versioning issue
(=cannot open files).
If you cant dedicate the necessary time, drop the course now, and
take it later. The difficulty on this class is not the difficulty but
rather the quantity of material.

SUPPLIES:
Memory storing device
Manual Drafting tools (ruler, 30o/60 o and 45 o triangles, compass, combination scale, pencils,
eraser, etc.)
Drafting paper: 1 grid sheet (.10 squares and 0.25 squares), isometric paper. (One option is
to use this http://www.printfreegraphpaper.com/. There are other options.)
Being enrolled in this class, some computer memory will be allocated to your account. This memory is
for schoolwork use only. If music files or video files are stored, or your excessive use of memory
becomes a problem for the network, the administrator may have to erase all your files. Also, the
memory will be taken away at the end of the quarter, so ensure that you save elsewhere any files that
you want to keep.
Printing privileges for this class are 40 sheets of paper at the beginning, increasing by 10 pages/week.
This quota will not be increased, so make sure to manage your printing usage.
Always back up your work somewhere in addition to the schools account and/or your computer.

SIGN-IN SHEET
Anytime during a class session, I may pass out sign-in sheet(s). I may pass it out at the beginning of the
class, in the middle of the class, towards the end of the class, or anytime of my choosing. It is YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY to make sure your presence is reflected at the time the sign-in sheet was routed.
For example,
If you came late and everyone has signed-in (hence, I have the sign-in sheet), your presence may
not be reflected or you may be marked late. As stated above, "tardiness or leaving early without
prior permission will affect your overall grade."
If you left early and I passed out the sign-in sheet after you leave, please do not e-mail me to let
me know that you were there. Your early departure may be the exact reason for the sign-in
sheet to be passed out.
If you did not sign-in because you were not paying attention, YOU ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE.
COMMUNICATION CHANNELS:
Cal Poly e-mail and Blackboard will be used as one of the communication channels between the
professor and students. Please ensure that your Cal Poly e-mail account is capable of receiving e-
mails (e.g. not full) and check Blackboard regularly for announcements and grades received. WORD
TO THE WISECHECK YOUR E-MAIL!
Occasionally, I will send out a survey (using survey monkey) to have you signed-up for
extracurricular activities, such as plant tours and extra lab session. These activities are offered for
your benefits. These types of requests require quick turn-around. Please make sure your email
does not block this type of survey and please respond promptly by filling out the survey (i.e., do not
send me an e-mail to sign-up. It will not be recorded).
Note: The instructor reserves the right to make changes as necessary to the information on this
syllabus.
