METC 220 - CAD for Mechanical Design

1. Utilize appropriate project file management to maintain a full range of engineering designs in a professional, organized manner.
2. Demonstrate high proficiency when utilizing a sketching, or a simplified virtual drawing, environment to create intentional designs and understand the effect of modeling steps as well as the application of parameters and sketching constraints on potential revisions to the designs.
3. Demonstrate high proficiency with 2D/3D CADD to create and modify part models including the application of appropriate parametric relationships and the utilization of a comprehensive set of selected tools/commands such as work planes, shared geometry, secondary sketches, copies, patterns, sweeps, and lofts.
4. Demonstrate proficiency with 2D/3D CADD to create and modify mechanical assembly models including appropriate utilization of tools/commands and assembly constraints to allow for realistic virtual assembly and operation.
5. Utilize standards and skills common to mechanical design to create engineering documentation products necessary to support multiple areas of a production/manufacturing organization including ANSI-approved technical part drawings, assembly or weldment drawings with parts lists/bills of materials, and other documentation products such as assembly animations, operation animations, sheet metal designs, photorealistic images, or stress analyses.
6. Appreciate the application of virtual design to existing and developing manufacturing processes such as material removal (CAM) and additive manufacturing.
