Introduction to three-dimensional parametric modeling and related basic computational concepts for design. Using SolidWorks software, this course focuses on 3D solid parametric modeling in an engineering design environment. Hands-on learning in basic sketch profiles with constraint based 2D shape control is studied. Part design, parametric features, dimensions and constraints, design modification of solid part, analyzing and documentation of the part or parts are also covered. Bi-directional control of 3D model to 2D part drawing is studied. The use of rapid prototyping techniques for model creation and design, analysis and redesign are incorporated.
The Industrial Technology Division is a committed leader in innovative workforce development by meeting the dynamic needs of business and industry through the development of student-centered education, technical excellence, and citizenship.
