Course Objectives:
This course is an exposure to computer-aided engineering (CAE) that uses a commercial CAE package to demonstrate the various concepts. Computer-aided engineering (CAE) aids in the design process by developing a computer-based description of a device or system that can then be used to drive other engineering applications such as drafting, numerical analysis (for example, finite-element analysis), and manufacturing (for example, numerically-controlled machining). For more advanced CAE, the engineer creates a parametric description allowing for the creation of device families and the integration of certain domain knowledge. The specific application that will be emphasized in this course is drafting. Drafting techniques allow the engineer to communicate detailed creation and/or assembly information in a recognized, unambigous and standard manner. The course will begin with students sketching three-dimensional objects and will end with a demonstration of parametric feature-based solid modeling and 3-D printing of a mechanical object. Although there will be lectures and assignments on three-dimensional modeling, the core of this introductory course will be on generating two-dimensional drawings of mechanical components.
