TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF MECHANICAL AND MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING COURSE DESCRIPTION MEEN-5610 COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING Fall Semester, 2009 Instructor: Dr. Amir Shirkhodaie A. CATALOG COURSE DESCRIPTION MEEN 5610 Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing (3): Introduction to various topics related to Computer-Aided Design(CAD), Computer-Aided Manufacturing(CAM), Computer-Aided Engineering(CAE), Computer-Integrated Manufacturing(CIM), Finite Element Modeling and Analysis(FEM), and Manufacturing Information Processing (MIP). Laboratory projects Required. B. COURSE OBJECTIVES The objective of this course is to present the fundamental principles and concepts underlying CAD/CAM/CAE systems and introduce students with related CAD/CAM/CAE tools. This course blends theory and practice with a special emphasis on application of advanced CAD/CAM/CAE software for design and development of manufacturable products. Various 2D/3D geometric and surface modeling techniques will be discussed including rapid prototyping techniques, finite element modeling and analysis, computer numerical control, and virtual product development and engineering. Students are expected to achieve a thorough knowledge in the area of CAD, CAM, and CAE and gain hands-on practical training with popular CAD/CAM/CAE software and hardware. C. COMPETENCE After completion of this course, students will have the following competences: A thorough understanding of CAD/CAM/CAE principles. Being able to select a suitable CAD/CAM/CAE software and hardware for a particular project. Being able to design valid, credible, and appropriately detailed manufacturable products. Having hands-on practices with CAD, CAM, and CAE engineering applications. Being able to analyze and compare performance of different design alternatives and arrive at critically important engineering decisions. D. PREREQUISITES There is no prerequisite for this course. However, gra
