Abstract

This evidence-based practice presentation discusses design and build projects within an undergraduate, Engineering Graphics and Design program. Students are presented with a problem statement and parameters and asked to design a solution. Students utilize computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software during the design and manufacturing process. Teams of two or three students sketch ideas, create 2D geometry in AutoCAD or 3D models/assemblies in SOLIDWORKS, participate in a pre-manufacturing design review, manufacture components using a 3D printer, CNC router or mill, and/or laser, assemble components, and provide a post-manufacturing design review. This presentation provides information regarding CAD and CAM tools, project workflow, and project observations; challenges and lessons learned. It is the intent of this presentation to provide resources for engineering and engineering technology educators to engage students in design projects that produce physical prototypes or design artifacts.
