Engineering Graphics II

Catalog description

In this computer-based graphics course, students who have already completed the learning objectives of DFT-2: Engineering Graphics I, will be introduced to more advanced uses of the solid modeling application, SolidWorks. These uses include Simulation of parts using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) methodology, Sheet Metal, Weldments, and the concepts of Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing). Students will model parts and will test them using simulation and engineering analysis. Topics within simulation include static, frequency, thermal, vibration and drop test analysis methods. The use of simulation to generate engineering reports will be introduced and reports will be generated. Sheet Metal and Weldments with demonstrations and assignments will incorporate the use within industries such as: Manufacturing, Engineering, Drafting, and Production Assembly.
