ETGR 3223. Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing and
Metrology. (3) Prerequisite: Knowledge of
engineering graphics and machine shop practices. Study of the latest standard
and methods available for the application of GD&T in interpretation and
design of engineering drawings to assure form, fit and function while maintaining
manufacturing efficiency. Study of and laboratory experiences with precision
dimensional measuring instrumentation and machines. Two hours of lecture and
three hours of laboratory per week. (On demand)
ETGR 3233. Computer Graphic Technology. (3) Study of computer
graphics as a design drafting tool. Using computer driven plotters and
digitizers to prepare engineering drawings and illustrations. (On demand)

engineering problems on the digital computer. Emphasis on applications to civil
and mechanical engineering technology, using both commercial and student
written programs. (Fall)
ETGR 3643. Senior Design Project. (3) (W,O) Prerequisite: Senior Standing and permission of academic
advisor. A capstone course in which individual students or teams propose and
design a device, system, or process using senior level tools and abilities in
their chosen disciplines; teamwork skills; instruction and writing practice in
problem definition, design objectives, writing proposals and progress reports,
creative problem solving, project planning, design evaluation, final formal
technical reports and oral presentations. (Spring)
ETGR 3695. Engineering Technology Practicum Seminar. (1) Prerequisite: ETMF 3490 or ENGR 3590. Required during the
semester immediately following each work assignment for students enrolled in either
