Introduction to Engineering Design Class - IED
1.0 credit
2 Semesters
36 Weeks
Students are doing hands-on activities designing, drawing and creating
engineering parts.
Students will design 3D parts with Inventor 2009 software on the computer.
Students will be doing problem solving activities for engineering projects.
Students will design and draw engineering parts on paper with accurate
dimensions. Students will create a 3D model of the part on the computer
using Inventor 2009 software.
Students will study the entire design process. Students will keep all of
their work saved on the electronic files for a design portfolio.
Students will assemble the 3D parts into a finished product on the computer
using Inventor.
The final assembly must fit together perfect with all of the parts accurate in
size and shape.
Students will simulate the actual manufacture and assembly of an engineering
project.
Students will print their final assembly project on a Title Block for
presentation.
Students will learn the
following basic principles and skills.
1.
Design and sketch engineering parts on both paper and the
computer.
2. Inventor 2009 3D modeling software using
basic and advanced tools.
3. How to place geometry on parts for
cutting and shaping parts on the computer.
4. How to assemble parts into a project on
the computer such as a metal lamp.
5. Draw lines, shapes and geometry on the
computer.
6. Dimensioning, Title Block, Bill of
Materials, and balloons.
7. Extrude parts into 3 dimensional
objects.
8. Constraints such as flush, insert, mate,
etc.
9. Advanced work with helix, lofting, and
other complex work.
10. How to Design functional, safe, strong, cost
effective and attractive final projects.
11. Assemble parts and build projects on the computer
using AutoDesk Inventor 11.
