This course introduces 3D geometric CAD modeling with a focus on constraint-based solid and surface techniques for engineering applications. Students learn to capture design intent through part and assembly modeling, enabling the creation of variant designs and downstream reuse across the product lifecycle. The course emphasizes the use of Product Data Management (PDM) systems, effective change management, and alignment with Industry 4.0 practices, including digital integration and smart manufacturing.
Learning Outcomes1Explain the Product Design Process

3Demonstrate proficiency in the use of high-end Computer-Aided Design (CAD) applications.
4Comprehend design intent in the design of a product.
5Describe Product Data Management and its role in Parametric Modeling.
