MKMM 1543 CAD & its Applications

COURSE OBJECTIVE

The principal objective of this course is to enable you to use the computer in all aspects of the engineering design process. At the end of the class you should be able to use computers to:\\understand the basic theories of CAD

• model reasonably complex mechanical systems using a solid modelling tool,
• perform basic engineering analysis using FEA to predict mechanical behaviour and modify designs for better performance
