DFT 215 - Emerging Design Technologies

2 Credits
This course provides an introduction to the applications and uses of model-based definition (MBD), a product data documentation method becoming more and more common in the industrial manufacturing environment. Sheet Metal, Weldment, and Mold Design technologies are also introduced. Students learn the theory and guidelines for these emerging technologies and practice applying them to product designs.

Course Outcomes

Apply model based defition and other emerging design technologies.
- Understand the advantages and disadvantages of Model-Based Definition (MBD).
- Use MBD best practices to document the design of a part and assembly.
- Apply other emerging design technologies to product design.
