Introductory Course on CAD
An excellent training about Engineering
Engineering Graphics and Visualization (2D and 3D CAD)
General InformationMath is a basic skill. Whether you believe it or not – you use math several times in a day. Similarly, spatial visualization is another basic skill that is used even more than math. In this course, you will improve your skills in spatial visualization. Everybody should take a course in basic math. Knowledge of basic math actually determines if you are literate or not. Similarly, everybody should take a course in basic spatial visualization. However, despite it very important nature, not much attention is given to developing the basic skill of spatial visualization in our education system. This course will help fill that gap. Therefore, everybody should take this course. This course also initiates a paradigm shift in education. Nowadays, it is not difficult to find information about anything. The problem is not lack of information, but to know what one needs. Take the example of CADsoftware. There is tremendous amount of resources available for any CADsoftware. However, how does one learn that software? Where does one begin? What all does a person need to know to develop basic proficiency in that software? Such questions occupy the mind of a new learner. Most of the time the new learner gives up because they are not able to know what to know to develop competence. This course is independent of any software. I tell you the assignments that you need to do to develop competence in a CADsoftware. You may use whatever resources that are available to do those assignments. Once you complete the assignments you get a certificate that you have basic competence in that software and CAD in general. Above was a description of the course in lay man’s terms. In more technical terms, the purpose of this class to allow the students to identify, depict and represent features in 3D and 2D objects. The term feature has been used in the general context of geometric features in parts, constraints in assemblies, material and visualization characteristics in terms of the final representation. This is an introductory course about spatial visualization and CAD modeling. Program Outcomes (ABET)an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineeringan ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret dataan ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environ, social, political, ethical, health, safety, manufactured ability, sustainabilityan ability to function on multi-disciplinary teamsan ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problemsan understanding of professional and ethical responsibilityan ability to communicate effectivelythe broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global economical, environmental, and societal contexta recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learninga knowledge of contemporary issues an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practiceObjectives: To acquaint students with the principles of engineering graphics and the state-of-the-art computer-aided design (CAD) technology. By the end of the course, the successful student will be able to: Use commercial CAD software to create 2D drawings (b, g, k);Create 3D parametric solid models (b, e, g, i, k);Create detailed drawings of projection views of 3D objects (a, b, g, k);Build virtual assemblies and animate their mechanism (b, g, k);Create bill of materials and detect clashes of assemblies (g, k);Textbook: None. Reference Book: Introduction to Engineering Graphics and CAD by Dr. Akash Dixit. Supporting material: Course notes given from time to time.

Class participation may also excuse you from an individual quiz. This binder containing the USB drive will have all every thing that pertains to the class such as syllabus, announcements, notes, assignments, quizzes, projects etc. arranged in a methodical manner. An item should be present either in the USB drive or the binder. Whenever you contact the TA or the Instructor, be ready to produce the binder upon request. There may also be surprise checks for the binder both during class and labs. You can be penalized a maximum of 1% of your grade if you do not produce the binder and the USB drive upon request of your TA or your Instructor. Grading Scale:90 – 100 A8
