Engineering Design with Auto Desk Inventor

In this course, students learn and use a 3D solid modeling (CAD) software called Auto Desk Inventor to help them design creative engineering solutions to proposed problems. Students will apply reasoning and problem-solving skills to these problems and then will model and analyze them on the computer, sending their final design to a 3D printer to create a prototype. Students will learn how to communicate solutions to peers and members of the professional community. The major focus on this course is to continue to expose students to the engineering design process, research and analysis, teamwork, communication methods, engineering standards and technical documentation.
