Industry Certifications Elective - AutoDesk Certified Professional, Certified Solidworks Associate, ADDA Certified Drafter, AutoDesk Certified Revit User

Course Description:
Geometric models in three dimensions provide accurate information on the shape of a part for use in computer-aided engineering (CAE) or computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) applications. This course will introduce you to the terminology related to solid modeling and the creation of parts, assemblies and drawings. The student may choose from several software packages depending on availability and interest.

Student Learning Outcomes:

Understand the purpose and use of solid modeling.
Understand the difference between solid models and 3D surface models.
Discuss the importance of parametric modeling within the engineering design process.
Become familiar with the software interface.
Use solid primitive construction commands.
Use relations to define a part’s geometry.
Apply sketch techniques with sketch tools and construct geometry.
