Course Objectives: The objective of this course is to impart students an in-depth exposure to methods in geometric modeling and its applications
in CAD/CAM. This course introduces integrated approach to CAD including: Overview of CAD, numerical techniques for CAD, Computer
graphics and design, Principle and management of design data base system, finite element analysis and CAD, Design optimization. Along with the
theoretical presentations, commercial CAD software are also introduced and applied to create Engineering components and assemblies.
Pre-requisites: Basic Concepts of machine design. Engineering mechanics, computer operation and application.
