METC 270 - Advanced Parametric CAD


Credit Hours: 3
Billable Contact Hours: 4
Prerequisites: METC 170 
Session Cycle: FW

This course provides the dual opportunities to explore advanced topics in parametric CAD and to gain valuable design experience through its application to a team based project. Topics begin with a brief review of the introductory course, METC 170 . Participants will then choose to either complete a minimum of ten additional topic modules, through the use of tutorial exercises, or to form teams that together will share these topic modules while applying the knowledge gained to a semester-long design project. A partial list of topics include top-down assembly modeling, surfacing, dynamic analysis of mechanisms, rendering and animation, sheet metal and plastics design techniques and fundamentals of Finite Element Analysis. The software of choice is currently CATIA-DELMIA, and students are encouraged to purchase student editions and to have a reliable Internet connection to enroll.
