Methods of Instruction
Laboratory experience which involve students in formal exercises
Discussion of assigned project requirements and design methodology
Exercises on self-paced CBT training modules
Assignments
- Reading from reference material
- Drawing/Exercises using application software.
- Computer based training modules
- Projects assigned for the lesson
Methods of Evaluation
- Successful completion of computer aided design assignments with output verifying modeling correctness and precision; use of structured design intent principles, and documentation.
- CAD Lab activity - Practice and demonstration of techniques in the student laboratory designed to demonstrate critical thinking skills and to problem solve as required in the assignments and experimental investigations.
- A comprehensive final project (engineering documentation package) that includes component and assembly models, assembly and detail drawings and worksheets. The documentation package includes CAD modeling and documentation exercises that will require students to summarize, integrate, and critically analyze the major theoretical perspectives, modes of inquiry, and the important core concepts examined throughout the course.

Learning Outcomes and Objectives
Course Objectives
- Utilize CAD Laboratory equipment to survey the complex interdependent geometry of "Parent Child relationships" and understand mechanical design options using "Sheetmetal Design".
- Practice skill sets on available classroom computers and web based training material for PTC Creo Parametric in Sheetmetal design feature sets.
CSLOs
- Create an engineering document package which complies with industry-defined standards and shall include the following: components modeled using CAD design tools; assemblies generated from multiple components; engineering drawings for components and assemblies.
Outline
- Utilize CAD Laboratory equipment to survey the complex interdependent geometry of “Parent Child relationships” and understand mechanical design options using “Sheetmetal Design”.
- Load and setup application programs for use of sheetmetal design models, create the flat state of the model.
- Use PTC Creo Parametric application commands for complex manipulation of document in production drawings with band allowance tables.
- Input design data using available flange sets, notch, punch and forming tools.
- Practice skill sets on available classroom computers and web based training material for PTC Creo Parametric in Sheetmetal design feature sets.
- Editing design data to analyze mass properties of objects (volume, center of gravity, moments of inertia, flat states, etc.)
- Use of multifaceted patterns & groupings, Simplified Representations, Component Variation, Parameter Driven Parts in "Pro/FICIENCY" mode to evaluate design.
