Students will build and detail parts selected from the fields of mechanical and manufacturing engineering. Students will create and modify line, fillets, chamfers, splines, text, and dimensions. Much of the course is spent on application of a parametric solid modeler such as Solid Works. Students will learn to create and sketch geometry and parametric solids. Students will also be introduced to detailing and assembly modeling.
Emphasis is placed on establishing constraints that correctly convey the design intent.
Two hours of lecture and one hour of laboratory per week. AutoCAD Students will learn the concepts and fundamental principles of computer-aided drafting using AutoCAD software. Through both lecture and laboratory assignments, students will apply the commands and functions used in industry to create working mechanical drawings. This course provides a first experience for students choosing an engineering career and is divided into three segments. Part one covers the engineering design process.
