Course Goals / Objectives:
Develop a good grasp of the fundamentals of solid modeling and be able to use it model complex parts and assemblies
Be able to simulate the motion of a model and apply advanced analysis tools
Understand the basic concepts of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) and be able to apply GD&T to engineering drawings
Learn the fundamentals of geometric modeling- representation and manipulation of complex curves and surfaces and be able to apply them to real world examples
Understand what "rapid prototyping" is and what common processes are
Analyze parts and determine logical manufacturing sequences
