Engineering Design - 3D Modeling CPU

Introduction

Using ProEngineer Wildfire, students apply design skills by designing a block structure and cell phone.The Engineering Design—3-D Modeling CPU introduces students to the fundamental skills and tactics--as well as the historical significance--of the field of engineering. The course also employs the computer-aided design (CAD) software ProEngineer Wildfire, allowing students to apply design skills first-hand to their own 3-D models. While designing a block structure and cell phone with ProEngineer Wildfire, students more fully understand the design and tactical decisions of professional engineers as well as increase their general knowledge of technology, expand their multimedia communication skills, and work closely with dimensions and mathematics.

As the demand for engineers who can “think outside the box” increases everyday, this course challenges students to consider their own design decisions while still providing comprehensive instructions on how to create precise designs with ProEngineer Wildfire. This CPU addresses, as well, the many stages of design--both in reading and application--as students create base features (initial parts) and assemblies (collections of parts that make a working object).  As such, students will execute micro- and macro-level design decisions while navigating the exact caliber software many professional engineers use today.

This course also includes a coupon for one FREE registration (up to $400.00) to an upcoming ProEngineer Wildfire Introduction Workshop taught by Learning Labs, Inc., Applied Technologies' parent company. Learning Labs, Inc. has been selected as an educational representative for Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC), the company that developed ProEngineer Wildfire. After completing the workshop requirements, each participating teacher will receive and be eligible for the ProEngineer Wildfire Schools Edition—Software Grant Program, which includes free licenses of ProEngineer Wildfire Schools Edition design software (up to 300 seats), the project-based curriculum, and tutorials.
