EDD 160 Solid Modeling

This course introduces the concepts and commands of parametric solid modeling. The course focuses on the creation and addition of relationships to sketches; extrusion of sketches to create models; and addition of features such as fillets, cuts, chamfers, holes, drafts, shells, lofts, and sweeps. In addition, the course teaches the extraction of two-dimensional (2D) documentation from the three-dimensional (3D) models, and addition of details to the drawings.

Evaluation Criteria/Policies

The grade will be determined using the Delaware Tech grading system:

90-100 = A
80-89 = B
70-79 = C
0-69 = F
Students should refer to the Catalog/Student Handbook for information on the Academic Standing Policy, the Academic Integrity Policy, Student Rights and Responsibilities, and other policies relevant to their academic progress.
