Course Description

Provides information on the Pro/Engineer Interface, command structure and solid modeling. Develops knowledge and skills in the creation and detailing of solid models.

Intended Outcomes for the course

The student will be able to:

  • Sketch two-dimensional profiles to generate three-dimensional solid models.
  • Create features such as holes, cuts, extrusions, fillets, and chamfers.
  • Demonstrate competency with various menus and modification commands.
  • Create three-dimensional datum planes using Pro/Engineer software.
  • Generate revolved parts, swept features, and blends.
  • Develop assemblies of multiple solid models.
  • Develop engineering drawings that include assemblies

Outcome Assessment Strategies

Individual and full class discussion; lab drawing assignments; exams; and final project deliverables may be used to assess outcomes.

Course Content (Themes, Concepts, Issues and Skills)

  • Civil, industrial, manufacturing, mechanical and other engineering students must be able to visualize solid objects to succeed in subsequent mechanics and design courses.
  • Engineers need to be able to communicate with each other, and with manufacturing and construction personnel, using graphical representations of physical objects.
  • Solid modeling software is widely used in the engineering professions.
  • Many engineering graduates enter the workplace by performing computerized graphics manipulations.
