3.00 Credits
An introduction to computer-aided engineering design in the context of mechanical and structural engineering. Students learn the fundamentals of spatial reasoning and graphical representation. Freehand sketching skills, including pictorial and orthographic views, are applied to the design process. Computer modeling techniques provide accuracy, analysis, and visualization tools necessary for the design of structures, devices, and machines. Topics include: detailing design for production; fasteners; dimensioning; tolerancing; creation of part and assembly drawings; computer-aided design, analysis and optimization of parts and assemblies; solid modeling of complex surfaces; assembly modeling; assembly constraints; and interference checking.
