Worksheets, quizzes, and exams (objective and essay) which demonstrate the student's ability to identify, interpret, and solve common mechanical engineering design problems using conventional terms and techniques.
Problem solving exercises which demonstrate the student's ability to interpret engineering data and object attributes, generate 2D and 3D CAD models of key elements, apply orthographic methods to display solutions according to industry standards, and solve basic mechanical engineering and manufacturing problems.
Creation of accurate and detailed 3D CAD models according to ANSI or ISO standards, which demonstrate the student's ability to apply measurement data, basic static and dynamic force tests, manufacturing benefits or drawbacks, and mechanical design features to common design problems.
Presentation of an mechanical design project which includes 3D CAD models, projected drawing views according to ANSI or ISO standards, calculations, and graphical representations of solutions to an actual design problem with specific geometric, material, and manufacturing limitations.
Practical exams which demonstrate the student' ability to apply the principles of graphic modeling to create, edit, and analyze 3D CAD models.
STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES
Construct a minimum of two 3D solid CAD models and place in a working assembly with exploded views and bill of materials.
Demonstrate student knowledge of creating, via one or more 3D solid models, a standard 2D orthographic engineering drawing with 1st and 3rd angle projections, dimensions, and labels.
Attach any required or supporting documents here. Supported file types include Word, PDF, Excel, and other similar file types.
Reading assignments incorporating college level texts and instructor handouts which depict and analyze modern problems in 3D CAD modeling, commercial part and assembly design, material properties, manufacturing processes, and quality controls.
A. Problem solving exercises of increasing complexity, which require successful use of sketching, 2D and 3D CAD modeling, ANSI and ISO standard orthographic projections with dimensions, and manufacturability considerations. B. Worksheets and drafting exercises consisting of technical reports, multiple choice identification, and calculations which reinforce knowledge gained through reading assignments, individual research, and case studies.
A. Self directed research and development of a mixed media presentation relating to technical drawing, 3D CAD modeling, contemporary part and assembly design, material properties, and manufacturing methods.
No oral assignments.
