Foundations of Design & 3D Modeling for Engineers

Catalog description

This is an 8 week course. An introductory engineering graphics course which builds on the foundations of computer-aided 2D sketching and 3D modeling for industrial engineers. Students will develop and refine their ability to communicate designs via modeling techniques prolific in industry. The concurrent nature of ideation, engineering analysis and manufacturing will be emphasized as students review case studies and develop their own models. Constraint-based design will drive strategies that accurately reflect design intent and promote part family relationships and automation. Students will work in small teams to create a mechanism that must achieve certain functional criteria. ISE majors have priority registration for this course.
