Visualization for Design
Development of 3-dimensional visualization skills for engineering design. Sketching as a tool for design communication. Presentation of 3-dimensional geometry with 2-dimensional engineering drawings. This course will introduce the use of 2-dimensional CAD on computer workstations as a major graphical analysis and design tool. A group design project is required. Teamwork and effective communication are emphasized.
Topics
- Improve 3-dimensional visualization skills; enable a student to create and understand engineering drawings; introduce 2-dimensional computer-aided geometry modeling as a visualization, design, and analysis tool; enhance critical thinking and design skills; emphasize communication skills, both written and oral; develop teamwork skills; offer experience in hands-on engineering projects; develop early abilities in identifying, formulating, and solving engineering problems; introduce students to the societal context of engineering practice.
- Upon completion of the course, students shall be able to communicate 3-dimensional geometry effectively using sketches; operate 2-dimensional CAD software with a high degree of skill and confidence; understand and create engineering drawings; visualize 3-dimensional geometry from a series of 2-dimensional drawings.
