This course studies modern design and manufacturing techniques in the computer-based environment. It is designed to address the key issues in product development with the goal of providing the future engineers with a thorough understanding of the concepts and technologies in CAD/CAM/CAE. The major focus of the course will be computer graphics, geometric modeling, design reuse, feature recognition, process planning, NC path planning, rapid prototyping, engineering optimization, and computer integrated manufacturing.

CILO-1: Apply theories and practice of computer aided design/manufacturing/engineering, particularly in the areas of intelligent manufacturing, to design and develop efficient and optimized mechanical systems. CILO-2: Design and construct electromechanical system that fulfill manufacturability, health and safety needs within realistic constraints. CILO-3: Recognize, articulate, and address advanced design and manufacturing problems encountered in electromechanical engineering through the application of advanced geometric modeling, feature extraction, and intelligent manufacturing methodologies. CILO-4: Utilize modern computer aided design and manufacturing planning tools to design and optimize the electromechanical systems.
