ENGINEERING II

Engineering II is a full year of 3D design. Students complete AutoCAD desings for half the year then work exclusively in SolidWorks. The purpose of this class is to make the students proficient in modeling and generating detail drawings from models. This is explained in some detail below and some examples of student work are shown in the Engineering Student Project gallery on the previous page. The curriculum by which each lesson plan is created is available for download in the RESOURCES tab. At the end of this course, students will be proficient for an entry-level internship position.

​3D-AutoCAD

 

This class is broken into two parts with the first being a full semester of 3D AutoCAD. Students complete a series of drawings which include 3D Wireframes, Surface Models and Solid Models. This extra semester of experience sets these students apart from all others in their ability to create and manipulate parts in AutoCAD. Although AutoCAD is not as widely used in this capacity, it give the students the technical knowledge they need to adapt to any work environment where AutoCAD is used. Individual views are extracted from each solid model to create shop drawings for each.

SolidWorks

 

​​​​​Students spend the entire second semester of this class learning SolidWorks. First they complete selected on board tutorials. Then they complete the entire SolidWorks Mountain Board project that can be found on the Solid Works web site. They must not only complete the model but each of the required detail sheets as well. All parts must be fully dimensioned and properly scaled when applied to an ANSI standard title block.
