Course Goals:
- To develop spatial visualization and reasoning skills.
- To gain familiarity with the standards and conventions of engineering design graphics.
- To use geometric modeling software (e.g., parametric) as a design and visualization tool. Emphasis placed upon learning general modeling concepts and techniques.
- To gain exposure to digital simulation and prototyping tools commonly used in product design.
- To develop sketching skills using pencil and paper, and digital tablets.
- To introduce engineering design methodology, and to demonstrate the role of graphics in the engineering design process.
- To provide insight into the product design process, in particular as it relates to the architecture and functionality of the product.
