INGE_3809_BUITRAGO Creative Design

This course is an introduction to the underlying principles and methodology of engineering graphics communication as a means to the solution of engineering problems, and includes fundamentals of graphic visualization, sketching, PC-based Computer-Aided-Design (CAD), and technical presentations. Students will be introduced to engineering problem solving methods and the design process as a systematic methodology. They will also be introduced to computer-aided- design software as a tool to create solid models of mechanical parts and assemblies, visualization, and analysis of engineering problems.
