MEC 330 Solid Modeling and Manufacturing
This course introduces students to fundamental principles of manufacturing processes and solid modeling practices. Students will learn to create and analyze CAD models, focusing on design intent, parametric modeling, design for manufacturing, and GD&T. The course will cover key manufacturing processes, including conventional and CNC machining, casting, additive manufacturing, and forging. By the end of the course, students will be able to apply CAD tools to real design problems, assess the manufacturability of their designs, and generate technical drawings according to appropriate standards and best practices.
