Introduction to 3-D Modeling

Catalog description

As an introductory course in engineering graphics, this course begins with creating properly dimensioned 2-D sketches and progresses towards creating fully dimensioned 3-D parts. Students complete a couple of projects that practice their ability to create 3-D models. The focus of this course is drawing and modifications of 2-D sketch tools such as line, circle, arcs, rectangle, offset, fillet, chamfer, trim, mirror, move, rotate, copy, scale, stretch, and other commands. In addition, features commands including extrude, extrude cut, loft, revolve, wrap, helix, swept boss/base (sweep), and hole wizard will be introduced. Plus, building assemblies and creating detailed drawing documentation for manufacturers will be covered. Topics will include designing mechanical components to master the basics of SOLIDWORKS software. Students registering for this course will be assessed a course resource fee. View Sample Syllabus
