COURSE OUTLINE OF RECORD

CADD TECHNOLOGY 126 – ELECTRONIC DRAFTING

3 hours lecture, 3 units

Catalog Description
Application of electronic graphics to create all aspects of engineering support documentation. Includes
all types: block diagrams, flow charts, wiring, and mechanical enclosures. Covers Schematic Capture
and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout and design using AutoCAD. Other software may be
incorporated. ASME, ANSI, military and NASA standards for engineering are discussed.

Prerequisite
“C” grade or higher or “Pass” in CADD 120 or equivalent

Entrance Skills
Without the following skills, competencies and/or knowledge, students entering this course will be
highly unlikely to succeed:
1) Use of AutoCAD terms, concepts and techniques in engineering drafting and design.
2) Application of AutoCAD in 2D drawing.
3) Construction of 2D drawings with text and dimensions using AutoCAD.
4) Ability to perform AutoCAD’s editing commands to make any necessary changes.
5) Verifying the integrity of drawing data using various inquiry commands.
6) Plotting and printing drawings in different scale configurations.

Course Content
1) Basic CAD (Computer-Aided Drafting) skills application review
2) Mechanical packaging and component selection
3) Schematic Capture: electronic and electromechanical circuit drawings
4) Wiring diagrams
5) Schematic diagrams
6) Logic diagrams
7) Introduction to PCB design and manufacturing
8) ASME, ANSI and military standards in engineering practices

Course Objectives
Students will be able to:
1) Use appropriate software to correctly draw component symbols used in conventional graphical
representations of an electrical circuit.
2) Describe and apply electronic graphics and symbols to create basic engineering drawings.
3) Develop documentation for block diagrams, flow charts and wiring to describe the details of the
diagram.
4) Prepare drawings for mechanical enclosures to represent the mechanical parts of the drawing.
5) Create Schematic Capture and PCB layout and design to capture an electronic circuit created by a
designer.
6) Use major concepts of ASME, ANSI and military standards in engineering practices in creating
schematic captures of electronic circuits.

Method of Evaluation
A grading system will be established by the instructor and implemented uniformly. Grades will be
based on demonstrated proficiency in subject matter determined by multiple measurements for
evaluation, one of which must be essay exams, skills demonstration or, where appropriate, the symbol
system.
1) Group and classroom activities which measure students’ ability to articulate the fundamentals of
electronic CAD.
2) Midterm exam which measures students’ ability to describe and apply the fundamentals of
drafting concepts, terminology, and techniques used in electronics.
3) Final exam which measures students’ ability to apply the skills and competencies required of an
electronics draftsman.
4) Classroom project which measures students’ ability to apply the skills and competencies required
in CAD for electronics applications.
