Fundamentals of computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM). Creating, reading, and understanding databases for solid models. Assemblies and sub-assemblies. Design and analysis of mechanisms with linkages, gears, springs, dampers. Finite Element Modeling of parts, assemblies, and mechanisms. CAM, 3-axis milling, APT, Design optimization.

To extend the students knowledge on relevant engineering applications in the field of Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Numerical Control (CNC) and Computer aided Manufacturing (CAM). Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) analysis tools such as finite element analysis (FEA) for static analysis and evaluation of dynamic operations are introduced and evaluated
