Computer-Aided Design systems will be covered and students will produce working engineering drawings. Instruction will include an introduction to tool path generation, local Computer Numerically Controlled programming and 3-D solid model generation. Computer-Aided Manufacturing systems will be covered, and students will produce parts on CNC machine tools and assemble these parts into a working mechanism. The manner in which common analysis tools interact with design modelling packages will be demonstrated. Instruction will be given in engineering drawing, tolerancing and dimensioning. Quality and reliability assurance and costing, and modern materials and related manufacturing techniques will be discussed in case studies. (0/0/0/16/32) NOTE: Enrolment is limited.
