CAS MA 226; junior or senior standing or consent of instructor. Manufacturability of high-tech products has grown and excelled in the present digital era due to enormous advances in computation, communication, control, and software. Computer-integrated design and manufacturing (CIM) concepts are first introduced, followed by a heavy emphasis on computer-aided design (CAD), manufacturing (CAM), and engineering (CAE) tools. Topics include geometrical tolerancing and specification, transformation and manipulation of objects, description of curves and surfaces, solid modeling, tooling and fixturing, computer numerical-control (CNC) of machine tools, rapid prototyping technologies, optimization of designs, introduction of finite element methods (FEM) and application to stress/strain, deformations, and thermal engineering problems, and testing of parts while incorporating CAD/CAE methods. Projects are selected from a variety of engineering areas. The course includes a lab with extensive use of Pro/Engineer and SolidWorks, plus exposure to COSMOSWorks and COMSOL. (Formerly ENG EK 406.) 4 cr.
