ENGT 244 Mechanical Design With Inventor

4 credits

An introductory course using feature-based, parametric, software. Students will learn and apply parametric solid modeling techniques to create welded structures, cast metal and machined parts, sheet metal and plastic parts working from engineering sketches and/or prototypes.

Prerequisites: ENGT 131 or instructor permission.

Student Outcomes/Competencies:
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:

Demonstrate the use of sketch planes, sketches, dimensions, and basic feature creations in Inventor
Show proficiency in application of solid modeling commands to create three dimensional, parametric, and engineering models
Apply assembly mating techniques
Create 3D sheet metal parts, drawings, and flat patterns
Create 3D models of weldments, machined parts, and corresponding drawing package
Demonstrate ability to create drawings with multiple views including sections from solid models
Demonstrate ability to dimension machined parts, weldments, and sheet metal parts to ASME standards
Demonstrate ability to create assemblies to include sheet metal parts and weldments, combined with individual parts and parts from libraries
