APPE 201 - Computer Aided Design and Processes3 Credit Hours This course introduces engineering students to Computer Aided Design programs and the design process. Students learn CAD fundamentals including model creation, assemblies, drawings, and project scope techniques. Students work on real-world components and challenges to develop their design and manufacturing skills.
The course covers isometric drawing designs and tolerances, CAD model creation, dimensioning and parameterization, assembly models and animations, project scope and applications, material selection and mass analysis, derived versus customer requirements, and design project presentations. Students gain practical experience with industry-standard CAD software and understand how design decisions impact manufacturing processes.
This course builds foundational design skills for advanced coursework and prepares students for engineering careers in design and manufacturing.
Contact Hour Distribution: 2 Hours Lecture; 2 Hours Lab (RE) Prerequisite(s): APPE 101 Registration Restriction(s): Registration restriction of Tickle College of Engineering majors or Biosystems Engineering majors. All APPE courses require a grade of C or better.
