Course Objective: Provide students with a conceptual understanding of CAD/CAE principles, an experience with commercial software tools available for the implementation of these principles and the training to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs using the modern and industry use engineering tools. Special arrangements will be made to provide the participating students with a unique environment to learn industry use CAD software tools. Teamwork is required. The assigned projects are directly related to industrial applications.

Topics Covered:

1. Introduction to CAD Systems (2 weeks)
2. Engineering Graphics (2 weeks)
3. Engineering Design (2 weeks)
4. Pro/ENGINEER Design System (3 weeks)
5. Computer Engineering Analysis (2 weeks)
6. Integration of CAD/CAM-NC machining lab session (1 week)
7. Applications of CAD Systems - Team Projects (entire semester)

NC Lab Schedule:

2 hours in week 9 and two hours in week 10, Manufacturing Building
Appointments should be made for teamwork on the design project

Grading Policy:

Homework Assignment (teams & individual)	20%
Lab Reports (team reports)	10%
Two Mid-term Exams	30%
Team Project	15%
Final Exam	25%
