ENGN 1740: COMPUTER AIDED VISUALIZATION AND DESIGN
(Spring
Semester 2009)
Application of
computers to the design methods in engineering. Includes hands-on experience in
the use of CAD/CAE software packages for geometric modeling, visualization and design.
Emphasis is placed on applications to solids and structural problems. Design
projects will be carried out, including motion analysis, meshing and Finite
Element analysis.
