Catalog Course Description:    
  The student and the instructor identify a project or outside work experience to be completed by the student. The student is expected to produce sketches, working drawings, details, sections, auxiliary views, etc. as required to completely describe the project to the instructor.
Entry Level Standards:    
  Students must have at least 20 hours of CID credits.  Familiarity with word processor and spreadsheet is required.  Standard English usage is required.
Prerequisites:    
  Department head approval, second-year standing 
Textbook(s) and Other Reference Materials Basic to the Course:  
  As required to complete project(s).
I. Week/Unit/Topic Basis:    
 The student/intern shall determine a work schedule to afford a minimum of 100+ hours on the project(s) that are to be accomplished during the semester (15 weeks).  It is the intern's responsibility to advise the supervisor if the scheduled hours cannot be maintained.  A weekly conference is required with an advisor.

V.  Evaluation Procedures:
--All communication will be handled in a professional manner. Verbal agreements will be followed up with written confirmation, which may be in memo format. Written communication shall be typed and in acceptable business format following Standard English usage and minimum of spelling errors.  It is the responsibility of the student to produce confirmations and communication documents unless otherwise agreed to by the supervisor. 
--Written proposals and reports will be required.  
  1. Project proposal shall be submitted to supervisor. 
  2. Description of project shall be submitted.  Expand on project proposal. Include anticipated drawing files, animations, renderings etc.  
  3. Proposed schedule of drawing completion. 
  4. Documentation of research via Internet, library sources and 
   Professionals shall be submitted. 
  5. Supervisor must approve revisions, change of scope, extensions or other changes. 
--A mid-semester review of all projects will be required. 
--An end-semester review of all projects will be required.  Supervisor shall set date and time.  The project must be turned in on due date in neat, orderly format on printed or plotted hardcopy as well as electronic medium. 
--Use of other support software such as word processors, database, spreadsheets, or programming languages) is required.  Reports shall be generated using a word processor.  A spreadsheet application will be used to generate weekly timesheets. 
--A portfolio of past student work will be turned in as part  of the class work. 
--A file will be opened with the placement office.  Mock interviews and other job finding aids will be attended as scheduled. 
--Project will consist of at least one fully dimensioned and detailed drawing.  If the project is of mechanical parts GDT will be used as the dimensioning system.  
--All documentation (proposals, contracts, submittal, drawing reviews, work records, etc.) must be submitted for the end-semester review. The course grade will be determined primarily on the basis of the supervisor's evaluation and the timely  completion of the project(s) as specified by the progress schedule.  The final review will be by CIDD faculty.
