The Objective of the Course

  • To prepare students to excel in professional career by acquiring knowledge in mathematics, science and engineering principles.
  • To prepare students to have strong core and technical knowledge in Mechanical Engineering and allied disciplines contributing to society through interdisciplinary research, entrepreneurial skills and leadership qualities with a global outlook.
  • To inculcate teamwork, communication, interpersonal skills and ethical approach adapting to changing environments of engineering and technology by engaging in life-long learning.

Learning outcomes

  • At the end of the course, the student will be able to
  1. Conceive, design and analyze new products or design and optimize existing ones through teamwork
  2. Use CAD to create individual components and assemblies (Design for Assembly, DFA)
  3. Use FEM to research product behavior and to confirm the results using stress-strain analysis and failure theories.
  4. Prototyping Using RP
  5. Selecting and Using CAM Tools and Techniques

CAD/CAM is designed to combine the basics learned in an application. This course builds on and applies knowledge from subsequent classes.

The lectures provide an overview of material science, mechanics, stresses, design of machine elements, failure theories and conceptual design and visualization techniques, which mainly include teamwork in computer laboratories to carry out various projects: CAD, FEM, CAE and RP.

In addition, students learn CAM principles and participate in CNC demonstrations. Students work in teams to design, analyze and manufacture the parts needed to create a prototype assembly as a final design or to reverse engineer and reproduce an existing assembly.

Lectures between laboratory sessions introduce concepts needed in computational projects, including technical drawing and the finite element method. Emphasis is on validating FEM results using analytical theory. SolidWorks is used in all computer lab sessions.
