Course Description
An intermediate level mechanical design course includes part modeling, assembly, drawing
generation, and surfacing.
Textbook
CATIA for Designers V5R13 by Sham Tickoo, CADCIM Technologies.
Coordinator
Name of the professor
Student Objectives
1. Understand the concepts of part modeling using CATIA 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.
4. Understand the concept of Surface modeling using CATIA software.
Instructor Objectives
To teach students the basic concepts designing using CATIA 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 Assessment
Students are expected to understand various CATIA 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 Policy
1. 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.
