University of Texas at Austin: May Term - Introduction to Engineering Design and Graphics

Copenhagen is the vibrant seaside capital city of Denmark. Located on the eastern shore of the Island, Zealand, it is known for its youthful population and their focus on green living. Copenhagen's outdoor parks and coastal recreation provide excellent venues for sun loving Danes. It is home to art, architecture, castles, cathedrals, museums, and 900 years of Viking history. Danish design, in all its forms, is respected worldwide. ME 302 is a multi-faceted course covering topics the history of design, design for manufacture, manufacturing processes, and production techniques. Sketching plays an important part in preliminary design. SolidWorks and SolidWorks tutorials prepare the student to create their own product. Students will design a product from concept to manufactured product over the course of the semester. The project will involve sketching and modeling techniques, mass properties reporting, finite element analysis, rapid prototyping, and dies and injection molding.
