In Level 4 Engineering classes, students utilize the engineering design process to create prototypes. They follow steps like defining the problem, researching, specifying requirements, brainstorming, prototyping, testing, and iterating. AutoDesk Inventor 3D software plays a crucial role in their work. It empowers them to design, simulate, and visualize their ideas. With features like parametric design, direct modeling, and rules-based capabilities, students create 3D models, analyze performance, and optimize their designs. It’s a powerful tool for aspiring engineers and product designers. 🛠️🔍🌟
Autodesk Inventor
Autodesk Inventor is computer-aided design (CAD) software developed by Autodesk for 3D mechanical modeling, simulation, visualization and documentation. Inventor enables the integration of 2D and 3D data in a shared environment, creating a virtual representation of the final parts that allows users to verify the its form, fit and function before it is built. Autodesk Inventor includes parametric, direct editing and free-form modeling tools, as well as multi-CAD translation capabilities in its standard DWG (DraWinG) computer drawings. It uses ShapeManager, Autodesk’s proprietary geometric modeling core. This software competes directly with SolidWorks, Solid Edge and Creo.
Principles of Applied Engineering
Course Description:provides an overview of the various fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics and their interrelationships. Students will develop engineering communication skills, which include computer graphics, modeling, and presentations, by using a variety of computer hardware and software applications to complete assignments and projects. Upon completing this course, students will have an understanding of the various fields of engineering and will be able to make informed career decisions. Further, students will have worked on a design team to develop a product or system. Students will use multiple software applications to prepare and present course assignments.
Engineering Design and Presentation II
Course Description: is a continuation of knowledge and skills learned in Principles of Applied Engineering. Students enrolled in this course will demonstrate knowledge and skills of the design process as it applies to engineering fields using multiple software applications and tools necessary to produce and present working drawings, solid model renderings, and prototypes. Students will use a variety of computer hardware and software applications to complete assignments and projects. Through implementation of the design process, students will transfer advanced academic skills to component designs. Additionally, students explore career opportunities in engineering, technology, and drafting and what is required to gain and maintain employment in these areas. Students shall be awarded one credit for successful completion of this course.
