SolidWorks I-Engr Mech Design

Develops further engineering drawing skills through computer-aided design (CAD) software in three dimensions using Solidworks. Enhances three-dimensional (3D) spatial visualization and refinement of 3D modeling representations. Covers principles in mechanical design, design methodology, design for manufacturing, and cultivates topics in engineering materials selection and metal forming/removal theory through various case studies and examples. Advances the understanding of the engineering design process and problem solving through design projects. Prerequisites: ENGR M04. Transfer credit: CSU. Notes: This course prepares the students for the Certified Solidworks Associate (CSWA) exam, an internationally recognized industry certification; students who pass this exam are capable of performing industry modeling at a proficient level and are able to utilize this skillset as a form of employment.
