Parametric Computer-Aided Design

Use of mechanical design software to build parametric models of parts and assemblies. Students create parts using techniques such as extrude, revolve and sweep. Emphasis is on the concepts of design intent and scalability. Assemblies are created using appropriate geometric constraints. Theory of engineering graphics is covered so that appropriate working drawings can be created from the parametric models. Introduction to the theory and practice of basic engineering drawing and blueprint reading. Multi-view projection including sectional and auxiliary views. Principles of dimensioning.
