Computer-Aided Design (CAD)

Graduate

This course will focus on computer-aided methods and applications. The lectures present basic and generic principles and tools, supplemented with significant hands-on practice and engineering applications. Various topics are studied and practiced using CAD/CAE software, such as Engineering design and the role of CAD, geometric modelling systems, representation of curves and surfaces, surface modelling, solid modelling and applications, parametric representations, assembly modelling, computer-aided engineering (CAE) and applications, distributed collaborative design, and digital mock- up. (Prerequisite: INDE-3110 or equivalent.) (2 lecture hours a week and 2 laboratory hours a week.) (Cross-listed with MECH-8290 (Section 9).
