Implementation of a Three-Semester Concurrent Engineering Design Sequence for Lower-Division Engineering Students
Bertozzi, N.; Hebert, C.; Rought, J.; Staniunas, C.
Engineering Design Graphics Journal, v71 n1 p1-13 Win 2007
Over the past decade the software products available for solid modeling, dynamic, stress, thermal, and flow analysis, and computer-aiding manufacturing (CAM) have become more powerful, affordable, and easier to use. At the same time it has become increasingly important for students to gain concurrent engineering design and systems integration experience. The purpose of this paper is to communicate the dramatic effect that the new software has had on the way that mechanical drawing and engineering design are taught at Daniel Webster College (DWC). The two year design experience at DWC is more extensive than the design experience that students normally have during the first two years of most four-year engineering programs. The evolution of this design experience will be presented. Three of the presenters of this paper are students. Two will present robotic arm projects; the third will present a supersonic gun project. (Contains 22 figures.)
