Introduction to Computer-Aided Engineering Design

Catalog description

This course introduces the principles of engineering graphical communication and related computational tools used for engineering design and analysis. Topics include orthographic projections, hand sketching, dimensioning standards, and the use of SolidWorks (an industry-standard software package). SolidWorks will be used in simple and advanced part modeling approaches, assembly modeling, engineering drawings, and surface modeling with a focus on the applications of SolidWorks in manufacturing processes, mechanical systems, and engineering analysis.
