PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project for this class is to create a new course for advanced SolidWorks. The sponsor of the project wanted a new course created that built on SolidWorks. However, this was to be an advanced course allowing the student to learn about advanced aspects of SolidWorks. The course would focus on teaching the student advanced features, tools and techniques that enabled them to be more productive when using SolidWorks. This project description is the original description given by the sponsor. It aims to advance on several courses already available that introduce students to using parametric computer aided design software as well as SolidWorks software.

Our sponsor says about the project description is:
"The Mechanical Engineering Department at NAU is interested in creating a new course to follow ME 180: Introduction to SolidWorks. This newly developed course will expand on the harder features of SolidWorks such as rendering, animation, multibody features, advanced sweeping, equations, sketch blocks, assembly visualization, advanced drawings, etc. This project will require the team to become SolidWorks experts in these advanced skills through the use of SolidWorks built-in tutorials, but be able to create their own tutorials and homework assignments."

It will provide the student with the extra knowledge and skills needed to make them more efficient when using this software for their work. The final deliverable for this project will be a 16-week sophomore/junior level SolidWorks course. The course will outline all the course content for the 16-week program including tutorials, homework instructions, and assignments. The deliverable will also include a breakdown of the course into teaching, homework, quizzes, attendance, exams, and the final project.
