MECH-280 - SOLID MODELING FOR MECHANICAL DESIGN 1  4 credits
This course studies three-dimensional solid modeling using a feature-based, parametric solid modeling CAD system. Students learn how to create mechanical parts and assemblies using parametric, associative software. The engineer sketches each feature of a part, provide dimensions and constraints to tie the features together, then extrudes or revolves the sketch into a solid object. Orthographic drawings are created from the solid models, including isometric, auxiliary, and sections views. The most current drawing standards of ASME Y14.5 are emphasized including the application of geometric tolerances. PREREQUISITE: MECH-186 and experience with Windows Operating System; CO-REQUISITE: MECH-280L
