Introduction to CAD and Machine Components
ENG ME 359
Modeling and technical drawing in two- and three-dimensions is covered in detail using advanced computer aided-design (CAD) tools. CAD-based assembly, mechanism creation, and finite element analysis (FEA) are introduced. Geometrical dimensioning and tolerancing methods are applied to a variety of tasks and a course project. Other topics include design for manufacturing and assembly, specification and analysis of basic machine components, including gears, bearings, cams and the relationship of those components to modern manufacturing processes. Includes lab. 2 cr.
