TEL 457 - CAD: Engineering and Analysis

This course is an inquiry-driven, applied, study, and analysis of 3D solid modeling. Engineering inquiry will include historical, current and future trends, standards, tolerances, and material properties. Applications include 2D and 3D scanning and manipulation of vector data, Computer Aided Design parametric modeling, Finite Element Analysis, statistical analysis programs, and output devices. Output will include print, plot, and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) devices. The course will culminate with inquiry, analysis, and assessment 3D virtual models to support a capstone project to address an engineering design problem. Prerequisites: TEL 247 or 347, or instructor permission.

Note: Materials fee required.
