COURSE CURRICULUM
COURSE TITLE: COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN
(Code: 3341904)
Diploma Programme in which this course is offered
Mechanical Engineering
1.

Semester in which offered


4th Semester

RATIONALE
The students of mechanical engineering programme are mainly involved in modelling,
designing, manufacturing, inspection and planning activities (such as preparing design
and production drawing, process plans, preparing bill of materials, etc.) in industries. For
all such activities, reference document is the modelling and drawing of
component/assembly to be manufactured. In this context, it is of utmost importance to
prepare, read and interpret these drawings correctly for production of components and
assemblies accurately and precisely. The industrial practices of modelling and designing
are also important for the students to make them aware of modelling and designing
practices, symbols, codes, norms and standards generally used in industries.
This course has been introduced at Diploma level in order to develop the skills in student
so that they can generate various modelling and digital production drawings as required
by industry using appropriate CAD software.

2.

COMPETENCY
The course content should be taught and implemented with the aim to develop
different types of skills so that students are able to acquire following competency:
Develop production drawings and solid models using codes, norms, standards
and CAD software.

3.

COURSE OUTCOMES
The theory should be taught and practical should be carried out in such a manner that
students are able to acquire different learning out comes in cognitive, psychomotor
and affective domain to demonstrate following course outcomes.
i. Select configuration of CAD workstation.
ii. Select type of modeling technique for given part.
iii. Design, develop and model the given part using various CAD software likeCreo/Catia /Unigraphics/Solid edge/Inventor/ AutoCAD, etc.
iv. Prepare solid models & assembly of mechanical parts.

General Notes:
a. If midsem test is part of continuous evaluation, unit numbers I, II, III and IV (Up
to point number 4.2 only) are to be considered.
b. Ask the questions from each topic as per marks weightage. Numerical questions
are to be asked only if it is specified. Optional questions must be asked from the
same topic.
c. For theory paper, examiner has to give options of Select and specify any one
software from Creo, Unigraphics, CATIA, Solid Edge, Inventor etc while
asking the questions from Unit V.
7. SUGGESTED LIST OF EXERCISES/PRACTICALS
The practical/exercises should be properly designed and implemented with an attempt
to develop different types of skills (outcomes in psychomotor and affective domain)
so that students are able to acquire the competencies/programme outcomes. Following
is the list of practical exercises for guidance.
Note: Here only outcomes in psychomotor domain are listed as practical/exercises.
However, if these practical/exercises are completed appropriately, they would also
lead to development of certain outcomes in affective domain which would in turn lead
to development of Course Outcomes related to affective domain. Thus over all
development of Programme Outcomes (as given in a common list at the beginning of
curriculum document for this programme) would be assured.
Faculty should refer to that common list and should ensure that students also acquire
outcomes in affective domain which are required for overall achievement of
Programme Outcomes/Course Outcomes.
