A course designed to introduce students to the engineering design process utilizing 3D Computer Aided Design software. Emphasis on 3D skills and relevant applications in engineering principles, technology, mathematics, and science is explored through a series of lessons, based exercises and team projects. Interactive process is utilized to develop products across a variety of industries: Process, Power, Civil, Agriculture, Electronics, Aerospace, and Automotive and Transportation.
Students will demonstrate their knowledge of the material covered in Introduction to Engineering Design with Solid Works curriculum by mastery of the following course objectives:
- Obtain the basic competencies of 3D modeling as it relates to engineering design process
- Develop the problem-solving skills utilized to create and modify a product and apply a process to solve the problem
- Acquire basic industry skill sets in 3D CAD and related manufacturing processes to recognize how products work
- Develop relevant examples of applying engineering principles, technology, mathematics and science in a real world environment with creative methods
- Attain life long learning skills through the development of multi-disciplinary teams for design projects, oral and written presentations that incorporate technology, and an understanding of different careers in engineering, mathematics and science that require solving problems in a 3D world.
