Course Description
This is an advanced design course that familiarizes the student with the various stages of the engineering process using parametric modeling.
Core Course Performance Objectives (CCPOs)
- Describe and apply the adaptive assembly approach. (CCC 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; PGC 2, 3, 4, 5)
- Interpret and apply the basic parametric modeling process. (CCC 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; PGC 1, 3, 4)
- Produce a simple parametric model. (CCC 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; PGC 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
- Create drawing layouts from a parametric model. (CCC 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6; PGC 1, 2, 4, 5)
See Core Curriculum Competencies and Program Graduate Competencies at the end of the syllabus. CCPOs are linked to every competency they develop.
Measurable Performance Objectives (MPOs)
Upon completion of this course, the student will:

Students in Need of Accommodations Due to a Disability
We value all individuals and provide an inclusive environment that fosters equity and student success. The College is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. Students are encouraged to schedule an appointment with the campus Disabilities Support Counselor to request an accommodation needed due to a disability. The College's policy on accommodations for persons with disabilities can be found in the College's Guide to Requesting Academic Accommodations and/or Auxiliary Aids Students may also access the Guide and contact information for Disabilities Support Counselors through the Student Resources web page under Disabilities Support Services, or visit the campus Advising Center.
