 Course Description  

An introduction to graphical communication of two- and three-dimensional product data during the design and development process. Topics include freehand drafting to develop spatial skills, an overview of the design and development process, design for manufacturability, parametric solid and surface modeling, assemblies, manufacturing drawings (e.g., views; geometric dimensioning and tolerancing; etc.), and pre- (e.g., FEA) and post-manufacturing (e.g., metrology) analysis.

 Prerequisite  

Prerequisite: MATH 098 with a grade of C or higher (or placement into MATH 099).

Learning Outcomes

After completing this course, the student will be able to:

1. Demonstrate spatial skills by drafting two-dimensional drawings and three-dimensional models.
2. Describe the roles of relevant stakeholders as well as key activities that take place during the design and development process.
3. Relate at least three manufacturing technologies to the design features that they create in a real product.
4. Generate parametric models using any combination of solid, surface, and assembly (e.g., associative geometry) methods.
5. Explain what a product data management (PDM) system is and what it is used for in the context of revision control.
6. Model a mechanical dissection consisting of 3+ components device to scale.
7. Produce manufacturing and assembly drawings using common industry standards such as ASME Y14.5.
8. Describe model-based definition (MBD) and how it is different than traditional drawing practices.
9. Explain the roles of at least three pre- and post-manufacturing design analysis tools in the design and development process.
