ME 490 Advanced SolidWorks Syllabus Catalog Description: Use of solid modeling software focused on preparation for certification examinations, introduction to multi-physics numerical simulation, and computer aided manufacturing (CAM). A major final project is required. Course Prerequisites: ME 301, CSWA Certified, Instructor Permission Meeting Times: 9:30-10:20 am MWF Instructors/Graduate Student Mentors: Email Office Dr. Edwin Odom GJ234D Coleton Bailey GJ112 Sarah Willis GJ112 Course Website: Course Learning Outcome: CSWP Certified SolidWorks user FEA, CFD, and other built in Computational features within SolidWorks Manufacturing Create processes simulations and other useful skills. Understanding the process of taking an idea from CAD to the physical world Course Activities This is an advanced solid modeling and manufacturing course. The program that we choose to use for these purposes is Dassault Systemes’ SolidWorks. During this course students will learn advanced solid modeling techniques to create complex parts, and then use the machine shop to bring CAD models into the physical world. The first six weeks of the course is focused on honing student’s skill and taking the CSWP (Certified SolidWorks Professional) exam. Passing of the CSWP is a requirement to pass the course. The remainder of the course after the CSWP will be focused on advanced modeling simulation such as CFD and FEA, as well as the design and manufacturing of parts. One of the manufacturing projects includes the machining of a sterling engine under the advisory of the IEW (Idaho Engineering Works) graduate student mentors. At the end of this course students will have experienced the full process product development from idea to physical world.
