Course DescriptionAn intermediate level mechanical design course includes part modeling, assembly, drawing generation, presentation, and sheet metal modeling. The students will also be introduced to the concept of transferring data to and from different electronic media.

TextbookPro/ENGINEER Wildfire for Designers Release 2.0 by Sham Tickoo, CADCIM Technologies.

CoordinatorName of the professor

Student Objectives1.Understand the concepts of part modeling using Pro/ENGINEER software.

2. Assemble the components created in the part mode by placing them in the assembly mode.

3. Generate the drawing views of the components and assemblies in the drawing mode.

Instructor ObjectivesTo teach students the basic concepts of designing using Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 software and use it in creating various real-world mechanical designs. Instructor will emphasize self-learning and strongly encourage students to ask questions and participate in the class discussions.

Learning AssessmentStudents are expected to understand various Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 tools and use them to create designs. Class assignments and tests will be used to assess this level of learning.

Students are expected to learn how to create solid model of the given object. Student projects, class assignments, and a test at the end of the semester will be used to assess this skill.

Grading Policy1. There will no repeat exams or make-up assignments.

2. The homework assignments are due at the beginning of the next regular class period.

3. Late homework will not be accepted.

4. Students are responsible for all material presented in the class, even if the student misses a class.

Student Project

Every student will do a project. The project can be any assembly and will then generate its drawing views. The project should involve about 10 hours of work and the selected projects will be posted on the university web page so that the drawings are available to any user who has access to internet.
