Course Content
Introduction to CAD and 2D drawing techniques. 2D drawing techniques. Hand sketching techniques. Orthographic projection. 3D solid modeling (extrude, cut, drill, revolve, loft ,inclined and oblique surfaces, holets, edit, inclined and oblique surfaces, holes, unite ). Layout generation and auxiliary views. Principles of sectioning (full, half, broken-out, rotated, ribs, webs, alignment). Dimensioning. GD&T (geometric dimensioning and tolerancing). Assembly and machine elements (bolts, nuts, other threaded elements, gears, cams, locking devices ). Assemblies and working drawings. Surface developments.
Course Learning Outcomes
Having successfully completed this course, the student will be able to:
