Description:

This course covers machine design components such as gears, keys, keyways, and shafts, belts and pulleys, and linkages. Students will work in small groups similar to industrial practices. They will have the opportunity to model physical prototypes. A second component of this class will be learning the product design process and following it through by making a complete prototype project. Students will design projects beginning with ideas then producing layouts, detailed parts, and assembly drawings. Students will use these designs to create working prototypes by 3D printing or laser cutting. This course will be taught in a state-of-the-art facility featuring the latest release of SolidWorks. (Prerequisites: CAD 1039) (Other Requirements: Students must receive a grade of C or better in all CAD classes.)
