Course Activities: This course introduces you to concepts and tools for producing solid models and engineering drawing packages using CATIA. The knowledge, skills, and perspectives you develop will greatly enhance your senior design experience and will be highly marketable in the engineering workplace, including summer internships. The first sessions of the course will help you transition from Solidworks to CATIA. The following sessions examine special features of CATIA that are useful in the modern manufacturing workplace. There are no hourly exams in this class, and hence problem sets and projects will constitute the majority of your grade. Class preparation is important for getting the most out of your lab time. As such, a portion of your grade is based on quizzes that review contents of a set of student-authored instructional videos that have been specially created for this course. Nearly all assignments are individual, but there will be a team-based, major synthesis project at the end of the course. Outcomes of synthesis projects along with ongoing senior design projects will be shown publicly at the December Design Snapshot. By organizing your course work throughout the term in the Course’ folder on ‘Catia the shared drive, you will develop an electronic resource that can be a valuable reference in future design activities as well as in job interviews.
