Course 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. 2 units, no prerequisite

Course Objective
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.
Semester Project
Wind turbine project: rotor blade and tower design and fabrication (3D print). See project description.
Grading: The final course grade will be based on a normal distribution curve.
30% Laboratory work
10% Class participation
30% Design Project
30% Examination
Student Learning Objectives
Upon completion of the course, students shall be able to:
• Create a 3D solid model of a complicated object with high degree of confidence.
• Extract 2D orthographic views from the 3D model for fabrication.
• Specify the proper dimensions, according to industry standards, for parts to be fabricated
• Extract section and auxiliary views.
• Understand the basics of assembly and associative constraints.
• Understand the basics of rapid prototyping, in particular 3D printing
• Understand the engineering design process and the implementation of different design phases.
• Work effectively as a member of a design team.
Weekly laboratory and homework assignments

All labs will be held in room 10 Jacobs. The lab period is 2 hours. During the labs, students will start by
doing step-by-step solid modeling tutorials to learn different functionality. Then they will be given the lab
assignment 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 (project). You should be able to finish most of
the lab assignment during the lab. If not, you must finish it before coming to the lab the following week
(see due dates on syllabus or bCourse). 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.
Lab assignments are due on Mondays by 11 pm. The due dates are indicated in the course syllabus
and on bCourse.
Academic Honesty
All students should be familiar with the Code of Student Conduct and know that the general rules and
students rights stated in the document apply to this class (see http://uga.berkeley.edu/SAS/osc.htm). With
regard to laboratory work and homework assignments, not only are you allowed, but you are encouraged,
to discuss the problems and techniques with other students; but each student must do his or her version of
the solution. Submitting someone else’s work as your own or knowingly allowing someone else to turn in
your work as their own will result in a zero grade for the assignment for all involved and will be reported
to the Office of Student Conduct. Cheating on the examinations will result in a failing grade in the course
and your action will be reported to the Office of Student Conduct for administrative review.
