MECH-260 - Engineering Design With Solid Works

3 credits

This course is a continuation of Engineering Graphics with Solid Works. The course begins with a review of sketching, modeling, and assembly fundamentals. Design projects are then assigned where the intent is to emphasize mechanical design principles. Students are required to make and justify design decisions Students will research and critique design proposals and submit written reports. Special attention is given to tolerancing of mating parts and the application of geometric tolerances per ASME Yl4.5M-l994 Continuing emphasis is placed on proper engineering drawing documentation. In addition, the instructor will present advanced features and functionality of Solid Works. Examples of these features include: sheet metal design, weldments, and 3D Sketching.
