MECH 1000 - Introduction to Design & Rapid Prototyping

Institution:

Utah Tech University

Subject:

Description:

An introduction to mechanical design and rapid prototyping required for Mechanical Engineering majors and open to makers. Students learn about mechanism design through design projects and rapid prototyping. Topics include: computer-aided design, dimensioning, tolerances, standard mechanical components, linkages, cams, gears, and 3D printing. **COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES (CLOs) At the successful conclusion of this course, students will be able to: 1. Produce 2D engineering drawings and 3D models of components and systems using CAD software. 2. Develop solutions to a problem using engineering design principles. 3. Produce 1st order designs of joints using principles of tolerances, fits, and statistics. 4. Produce 1st order designs of mechanisms such as linkages, gear trains, and cams. 5. Work in a team to design and prototype a mechanism using standard mechanical components and 3D printers. Course fee required. Corequisites: MECH 1005. FA
