MET 123 - CAD III Mechanical SolidWorks

MET 122  or Instructor approval

Course Description: As the third course in a three-term series, this is an elective in the Manufacturing Engineering Technology program. Students will use the techniques learned in MET 121  and MET 122  to reverse engineer an advanced part/project, creating solid models and modifying those models as needed; and the creation of assemblies, and industry standard mechanical drawings. Coursework will focus on continuing to develop techniques in preparing industry standard accurate, legible drawings and solid models. Students will have the opportunity to take the SolidWorks CSWA (Certified SolidWorks Associate) exam at the end of the term.

Course Learning Outcomes:

• CLO#1: Identify mathematical data using existing sources to create accurate 3D part models.
• CLO#2: Apply correct software tools to solve given problems.
• CLO#3: Identify mathematical data using existing sources to create accurate 3D part models and assemblies.
• CLO#4: Apply modeling, drafting, and assembly practices to pass the Certified Solidworks Associate (CSWA) certification exam. (ILO: Quantitative Literacy and Reasoning)
