Description
Description:
This course is designed to teach the use of 3D solid modeling CAD packages. Instruction includes how to use a 3D CAD package to develop solid models in order to generate assemblies and 2D drawings. This course enables students to develop basic spatial skill through the use of a solid modeling system. Students develop skills in interpreting and visualizing 3D objects in 2D format. They create and assemble solid model representation of machine components and create 2D engineering drawings from solid models. Students develop advanced technical sketching skills to aid communication in engineering design.
Lab and Tutorials:
Students are exposed to basic workshop practice techniques & application of the basic skills to undertake a project.
