Course Description

Introduces solid modeling software (computer-aided drafting) used in design and manufacturing. Includes using the software to capture design intent through part development and creating assemblies with these parts. Adheres to engineering and manufacturing standards and formats.

Course learning outcomes

1. Apply engineering and manufacturing standards in the preparation of technical mechanical drawings.
2. Apply basic geometrical relationships: parallelism, perpendicularity, angularity, co-linearity and concentricity using the standard measurement units of inches or millimeters, expressed as fractional or decimal values.
3. Model solid objects using standard computer-aided design (CAD) software proceeding from basic sketching techniques to the creation of solid features through the use of extrusions, cuts, rotations, and patterns.
4. Employ a methodical and progressive use of computer-aided design functions to capture the design intent of solid models and utilize parametric modeling that enable solid models to evolve during the design process.
5. Organize and manage part, sub-assembly, and assembly properties and relationships within a solid model drawing.
