MET150 Solid Modeling
This course introduces advanced topics in computer graphics. Students will learn 3D solid modeling based on parametric constraints, dimensions, and features such as extrude, revolve, sweep, loft, hole, fillet, and shell. The course also teaches students how to create assemblies and 2D technical drawings from 3D models. In the required laboratory course MET 150L, exercises will be assigned to the students for hands-on experience with related topics. Note: Students who have received credits for MET104 cannot receive credit for this course.
Co-requisite(s): MET105L
Course Learning Outcomes:
- Students will be able to use "Autodesk Inventor" and "SolidWorks" to create 3D models, assembly models, and 2D drawings.
Textbook: 101 Autodesk Inventor 2023, Linus Publication. (*Note: This textbook will be required for MET207, Tool Design)
