ENTC 1110 Engineering Drawing Syllabus

For Your Information In the near future ENTC 1110, Engineering Drawing, will be eliminated from the Technology Core! The number of credit hours will be reduced from 4 credits to 3 credits. The course will be taken only by students who have not had technical drawing in high school. The credit hours in ENTC 2170, CADD, will be increased from 3 credits to 4 credits. This is second time that I have taught this course in six years. Previously, I had not thought about technical drawing since I graduated from the University of Houston in If you decide to stay in this course, we will persevere!!!! If you decide to drop and add, you need to do it immediately!!! No hard feelings.
