Prerequisite: IST 1100 or consent of instructor.
This course provides students with advanced applications of trigonometry and compound angles to solve for out of shape features of solids. Trigonometric and compound angle formulas will be used to create definite values of solids containing out of shape features essential to measure and locate details on a blueprint. Students will use advanced mathematical calculations to transform blueprints from art to part. Students will learn how trigonometric and angular computations apply to setting up various materials for machining and checking in today's shop environment. Students will learn the principles of CNC machining that are applied in creating accurate representations of shaped features. Students will gain the knowledge of many methods of checking these figures for accuracy. BILLABLE CONTACT HOURS: 4

A course which introduces the student to the drafting industry. Emphasis is placed on the fundamentals so as to help students in their chosen technical program and/or for those who wish to pursue other classes in drafting and design. The course will focus on geometric construction, view interpretation, scales, orthographic and pictorial projection. The basics of dimensioning, lettering, first auxiliary, and sectional views, identification and classification of lines and planes will also be covered. Students will be required to do both freehand and instrument drawings. BILLABLE CONTACT HOURS: 3
IST 1700 Descriptive Geometry 3 Credit Hours

ESL Placement Level: Placement into ENG 1510, ENG 1510E, or ENG 1510S, or placement into ESL 2510 or higher or completion of ESL 2510 or higher. ENG transfer credit will also satisfy this prerequisite.
Descriptive geometry is a course that focuses on using orthographic projection, auxiliary views, and standard drawing conventions for the two-dimensional graphic solutions to three-dimensional spatial problems. First, second and third auxiliary views will be used for solving typical applied projection problems. Some of the topics covered will be the defining of planes, parallelism, perpendicularity, cutting planes, piercing points, and this the intersection of solids as required on layout drawings. Projection accuracy and problem solving will be stressed during the course. BILLABLE CONTACT HOURS: 3
