Design Projects for Engineering Graphics and Design

Discover the fundamentals of computer-aided design software with this exciting course on design projects in the engineering graphics and design field. You will start with an introduction to computer graphics and three-dimensional modelling. Study the classifications of three-dimensional models (including the wireframe, surface and solid model) and learn the advantages and disadvantages of each. You will break down the surface models further and cover more detail, including the seven interpolation methods for surface model construction. You will then discuss the parameters and essential concepts behind each of these before being introduced to computer-aided design software (CAD).

Explore the program CAD, used to create industrial objects and assemblies in artistic representation, the film industry and computer games. Following this, learn about the SolidWorks program, analyse the software's basic features and pick up the key phrases and words used to describe simple topics. Building on this, learn to use SolidWorks and explore manual drawing, shape and object construction. You will look at the individual components needed to construct more complicated objects. You will go on to study both two-dimensional and three-dimensional sketches and learn how to transpose them into more complex assemblies.

Finally, you will start constructing three-dimensional geometrics and studying the processes involved in creating bolts and nuts as an example. You will continue to research reference planes and assembly drawing and learn how this technology is used in mechanical design and product assembly. Lastly, you will learn advanced methods used to construct a single-cylinder engine as a progressive example and begin learning the fundamentals of mechanical mates used to join components. This course is practical and useful in any form of design or engineering. It will advance your skills and allow you to be a more equipped individual in your field. So why wait? Start this advanced course today and expand your knowledge of graphic design and engineering.
