    Engineering 26: Three-Dimensional Modeling for Design (2 units)

    Undergraduate Required Course

    Syllabus

    CATALOG DESCRIPTION:

    Three-dimensional modeling for engineering design. This course will emphasize the use of CAD on computer
    workstations as a major graphical analysis and design tool. Students develop design skills, and practice applying
    these skills. A group design project is required. Hands-on creativity, teamwork, and effective communication are
    emphasized.

    COURSE PREREQUISITES: None

    TEXTBOOK(S) AND/OR OTHER REQUIRED MATERIAL:

    Lieu, D.K., and Sorby, S.A., Visualization, Modeling, and Graphics for Engineering Design, Cengage
    Publishers, 2008.

    COURSE OBJECTIVES:

    Introduce computer-based solid, parametric, and assembly modeling as a tool for engineering design;
    enhance critical thinking and design skills; emphasize communication skills, both written and oral; develop
    teamwork skills; offer experience in hands-on, creative engineering projects; reinforce the societal context of
    engineering practice; develop early abilities in identifying, formulating, and solving engineering problems.

    DESIRED COURSE OUTCOMES:

    Upon completion of the course, students shall be able to operate 3-dimensional solid modeling software tools with a
    high degree of skill and confidence; specify dimensions for parts and assemblies such that they can be fabricated,
    and fit such that they function with the desired result; produce rapid-prototype models of parts and assemblies to
    demonstrate their desired functionality; understand the design of systems, components, and processes to meet desired
    needs within realistic constraints.

    TOPICS COVERED:

    Computer-based solid and assembly modeling; parametric and feature-based design; extraction of 2-
    dimensional drawings from 3-dimensional models; rapid prototyping; reading and creating engineering project
    and system drawings; dimensioning for design intent.

    CLASS/LABORATORY SCHEDULE: One hour of lecture and 2 hours of laboratory per week

    CONTRIBUTION OF THE COURSE TO MEETING THE PROFESSIONAL COMPONENT:

    Students learn graphical analysis and design techniques using the hardware and 3-dimensional software tools used
    by engineers in the field. Economic, manufacturing, and fabrication issues are considered throughout the course as
    Page 1 Thursday, April 24, 2014
    they apply to the topics addressed. Students are introduced to the concept of working in a group through the
    semester-long design project. As part of this project, students are required to communicate orally and graphically,
    and make presentations to the class and instructors.

    RELATIONSHIP OF THE COURSE TO ABET PROGRAM OUTCOMES

    (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering


    (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data
    (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints
    such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and
    sustainability
    (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems
    (f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility
    (g) an ability to communicate effectively
    (i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning
    (j) a knowledge of contemporary issues
    (k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.

    ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT PROGRESS TOWARD COURSE OBJECTIVES:

     Weekly laboratory and homework assignments 20%


    o The homework assignment will be closely integrated with the computer labs. During the labs,
    students will start by doing step-by-step solid modeling tutorials to learn different functionality.
    Then they will be given problems where they will apply what they’ve learned to model new
    geometries, assemblies, and products. There will be a focus on learning how to build a solid
    model to capture design intent and meaningful dependencies for ease of subsequent editing.
    Students will also learn how to set up for a 3D-print build, and 3D-print a geometry they design
    themselves. Homework problems will cover the theory behind the software, such as constraints
    and Booleans, and additional modeling problems that build on skills acquired during lab.
     Semester project. 30%
    o Students will be assigned to project teams of approximately 5 students. Each team will choose a
    product or mechanism with about twice as many unique parts as there are students in the group.
    In the first phase, each person in the group will build a model of at least one part, with all the
    parts divided up among the group members. In the second phase, the group will make a virtual
    assembly from the individual parts to check fit and function. In the third phase, after confirming
    fit and function in the virtual model, and making an oral presenation to the GSIs, they will 3D-
    print the parts and assemble them. For phase four, they will make any design changes necessary
    before producing a complete set of working drawings for all of the parts and the assembly.
    Finally, in phase five, project groups will exchange drawing sets and part collections, assemble
    the other group’s project based on the drawings, and then suggest improvements to the drawing
    clarity and the design specifications. Students will then make final oral presentations to the class,
    and turn in final project drawings documenting the final design.
     Midterm examination 20%
     Final examination 30%
