ETD 2364 Computer Aided Design 3-D (MasterCam-Mill 3-D & SolidWorks)
Teaches the student theory and application of solid modeling techniques used in Mechanical design and Fabrication. SolidWorks software is used to teach 3-D modeling design. Students will learn to create, modify, and manipulate 3-D projects, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), create assemblies, and develop a portfolio of mechanical engineering drawings. Students will be introduced to rapid prototyping, which is a group of techniques used to quickly fabricate a scale model of a physical part or assembly using three-dimensional computer aided design (CAD) data and the EMS 3D printer. This course offers students career opportunities as a mechanical designer and experiences in rapid-prototyping technology. Improving product design and developing processes in 3-D solid modeling technology is essential to remain competitive.
