Objectives of the Course

The objective of this course is to teach students how to create 2D sketches, design 3D solid models, model sheet metal and structural profile systems, perform assemblies, and prepare technical drawing documentation using modern industrial CAD software.

Course Content

The course encompasses the CAD software interface, parametric modeling techniques, complex part design, assembly construction, and technical drawing generation. Over a 14-week period, a workflow ranging from basic sketches to the creation of mechanical motion-capable assemblies is addressed through theoretical lectures and hands-on computer laboratory practices.
