Course DescriptionThis course covers the fundamental principles of computer-aided drafting (CAD) systems and their application in engineering design, both theoretically and practically. The course covers 2D and 3D drafting techniques, dimensioning, solid modeling, technical drawing, sheet metal applications, geometric tolerances, surface roughness, and basic assembly processes. Additionally, the course aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills to effectively use computer-aided design (CAD) software to prepare technical drawings, create solid models, perform assembly operations, and output their projects in appropriate formats.
