Assembly modeling and 2D &3D printing are also covered. These skills arenecessary for job qualification in many areassuch as mechanical design and engineering.The class uses a hands-on approach in orderto build a foundation for continued training orself-instruction.Prerequisite: ECAD 1070 or ENGR 1020 orinstructor consent.Introduction to Pro/EngineerECAD 2055 3 CreditsStudents will use Pro/Engineer software byParametric Technology Corp. to sketch, create,edit, and dimension 3D solid models. They willalso create 2D drawings from these modelsand assemble them. 2D & 3D printing arealso covered. Many mechanical design andengineering jobs require these skills for entry.The class uses a hands-on approach in orderto build a foundation for continued training orself-instruction.Prerequisite: ECAD 1020 or ENGR 1020 orinstructor consent. Recommendation: ECAD2050.Basic Tooling FixturesECAD 2060 3 CreditsThis course will introduce students to tooldesign. Topics include workholding theory,standard tooling components, drill jigs, millingfixtures, and inspection gages.Prerequisite: ECAD 1060, ECAD 2040.Recommendation: ECAD 2050 or ECAD 2055.Power Transmission DevicesECAD 2070 4 CreditsTopics covered include determiningdimensions, loads, stresses and sizes of gears,cams, bearings, seals, clutches, belt and chaindrives to create detail and assembly drawings.Various design practices will be discussed.Prerequisite: MATH 1015, PHYS 1041, ECAD2040.Applying Pro/EECAD 2075 3 CreditsStudents will use Pro/Engineer software toinvestigate applications such as assemblies,product design, tool design and more advancedmodeling commands.Prerequisite: ECAD 2055, ECAD 2060.Recommendation: MATH 1015.Design ProjectECAD 2080 2 CreditsThis course introduces students to variousdesign methodologies such as ConcurrentEngineering, Design for Manufacture (DFM),Design for Assembly (DFA), Green Design, andothers. Students apply these methodologiesto a design project of their own by creating aCAD model and prototype of the design.Prerequisite: ECAD 1025 or ECAD 1060, ECAD2040 or ENGR 1020, MATH 1015 or higher,PHYS 1041 or higher. Recommendation:Concurrent enrollment in ECAD 2070.ECAD InternshipECAD 2780 1 - 3 CreditsThis course is designed to provide studentsthe opportunity to apply knowledge and skillslearned in the Engineering CAD program in areal life job environment.
