Automotive Product Design and Drafting
1. Applying knowledge of general mechanical and
engineering principles and practices to development of
working design drawings for research and production.
2. Demonstrating understanding of design research and
product design.
3. Generating product working layouts and master drawings
from concepts, sketches, models, prototypes,
specifications and verbal instructions.
4. Applying knowledge of engine design, manufacturing
processes, capabilities and limitations, assembly
procedures, and tear-down; pickups, tool room.
5. Identifying tolerances and dimensions.
6. Using standard and company specific
industrial/manufacturing specifications.
7. Designing high volume parts such as plastic, P.M.
castings, and perm mold.
8. Drafting system assembly drawings and reduced scale
assembly drawings from layout drawings, detailing simple
and complex assemblies and panel layouts.
9. Drafting complete, multiple view, detail part and
component drawings from assembly drawings; detailing shape, dimensions, tolerances, finishes, materials and
heat treatment where appropriate.
10.Drafting standard automotive parts using technical
references and handbooks, computer files.
11.Drafting product part presentation drawings.
12.Applying basic knowledge of metallurgy to select
appropriate schedule of materials.
13.Drafting jigs and fixtures (optional).
14.Modifying drawings after conferring with engineers,
production staff, machinists and others, assisting in solving
engineering problems, using change control system, flow
and purpose of documents, CTC methods (optional).
15.Producing working layouts and final master drawings
adequate for detailing parts and units of design.
16.Following up on job designs.
