The course begins with the PowerPoint presentation "Familiarization with Pro/ENGINEER" followed by a simple demonstration by the instructor. Twelve lessons follow a pattern where by instructor demonstration of the Pro/ENGINEER feature which is the topic for the evening, is followed by individual student-instructor interactions until students are competent in the use of the feature. The Extrude feature is used to create an electrical bus-bar, a sports emblem, and a bolt-nut-flat washer combination. The Sketch File feature is also used with the bolt-nut-flat washer combination with the addition of a lock washer. Pattern, Hole, and Mirror features are used to complete the work on the electrical bus-bar. Other exercises include creation of an exploded assembly, creation of a drawing file and creation of datum points. These are followed by the use of the Piping and Sweep features and the creation of an assembly using aligned datum's. The Blend, Revolve, Chamfer and Suppcess features are covered. The course ends with the creation of a drawing having a bill of materials. Three sessions are reserved for examination where the students work without assistance on a model prescribed by the instructor. Prerequisite: ET 204. Course Objectives Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to: (1) Use Pro/ENGINEER to create a solid model of an elementary machine component. (2) Create subassemblies and complete assemblies of components. (3) Decompose the solid model into multiple detailed drawings for manufacture.
