Catalog Description
Over hundreds of years, engineers have developed methods of acturately representing 3dimensional objects on paper using 2-dimensional drawings (called "drafting"). With
the arrival of the computer, software was developed to take over the job of creating
these 2-dimensional drawings. The most recent trend is to use computers to create 3D
drawings directly, that is, to create technical drawings that directly represent a solid
model of the object. Increasingly, mechanical engineering companies are using
advanced solid modeling software instead of the older 2D based software. Until recently,
the engineering technologies department had no course using this advanced software.
Then, two semesters ago we offered a special topics course in this area using the software
SolidWorks. That course (ENT 280 ) has been successful, and we are now proposing to
have it become a “regular course”.

Solid Modeling with SolidWorks
3 credit hours – 2 hours of lecture and 3 hours laboratory weekly; one term
Learn to use SolidWorks, the next generation of 3D CAD software. SolidWorks is a
fully editable solid-modeling CAD software used to produce 3D drawings of solid
models. The course will start by first discussing 2-dimensional entities, then gradually
creating 3-dimensional solid models and then finally integrating those models into an
assembly. The student will also learn how to extract drawing views from 3D solid
models. This course assumes a basic knowledge of orthographic drawings. Lab fee $35
