COMPUTER-AIDED GEOMETRIC DESIGN
Designed to acquaint the student with computer-aided design technology used for geometric design of engineered products. Currently used methods of creating three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) models will be discussed. Paradigms of three-dimensional wire-frame modeling, surface modeling and solids modeling as applied in product design. Techniques for freeform curve and surface modeling will be emphasized.
