Week #13: (4/24) Introduction to MicroSoft Visio for Fluid Power Diagrams

[rjagodowski]

This week you will be introduced to the Microsoft Program Visio with specific emphasis on its application to Fluid Power systems.

Due to the COVID-19 Campus Closure, we will NOT be able to do this assignment. However, I still want you to be familier with the MS Visio program. Many of you have had some exposure to MS Visio via the EET-105 Technical Diagrams for Automation course in the Fall. Those who haven't will probably have the opportunity this coming Fall.

Our discussion will include the basics, and I'll show you a sample Visio session by sharing the Visio program on my computer during our Zoom video class.

Microsoft Visio 2016 Tutorial for Beginners on YouTube (about 12 minutes long). We'll watch this together in class.

Assignment:(NOT IN SPRING 2020) Before the Final Exam, use Visio to recreate 2 diagrams from either text of the Hydraulic/Pneumatic Trainers. Make sure your name is electronically printed on each of the diagrams you print & submit.
