Integrated Design, Engineering & Automation
ENGR 83
This intermediate-level course presents the latest techniques in parametric 3D computer-aided design and analysis. Students integrate design criteria such as materials of construction, manufacturing processes, cost constraints, aesthetics, and failure assessment to generate and refine industry-standard mechanical components.
DR 52
This course is designed to develop the basic skills needed for industrial-level engineering drawing and conceptual design, including assembly drawings and detail drawings. The course introduces the fundamentals of mechanical design and strategies for creative design. It includes the basic design process used for machine drawings, castings, cams, weldments, and power transmissions, with integrated problems and solutions. DR 52 was formerly offered as DR 101.
DR 50
This is an introductory course in the operation and application of a computer-aided drafting (CAD) system that is used to create, modify, store, and plot typical part and assembly drawings. Students create and analyze 2D orthographic projections of objects as well as 3D models which conform to industry practices and standards. Proper dimension practices are covered throughout the course.
