COURSE OBJECTIVES:
1. This topic gives information about the product life cycle, concepts of CAD
software and its applications.
2. How CAD technology can be leveraged in the design process
3. Students will learn theory and practice parametric modelling related to
analytical wire frame modelling.
4. Students will learn theory and practice parametric modelling related to
synthetic wire frame modelling and surface modelling.
5. Assembling and drafting by using solid, modelling techniques.
6. Use of CAD models for downstream engineering activities such as
manufacturing and finite element analysis.

COURSE OUTCOMES:
a. Use of computer Aided Design concepts for the creation of new entities in the
database.
b. Use parametric modelling techniques to reflect engineering requirements.
c. Apply modelling techniques to enhance the design aspects.
d. Design a part or assembly of parts using computer aided design software. Apply
top-down design principles to model a product.
e. Use motion and interference checking to ensure that parts will not interfere
throughout their complete range of motion.
