The purpose of this course is to introduce engineering drawing techniques through an in-depth experience with modern computer aided design (CAD) software. The course will begin with an introduction of hand-drawing and spatial visualization skills which are the foundation for any CAD work. Then, an in-depth introduction to Solidworks, an industry standard CAD software tool, will be completed. Additional topics include geometric design and tolerancing (GD&T) techniques and design for manufacturing (DFM) methods. A final design project will require the use of rapid prototyping tools like laser cutting and/or 3D printing.
