DEPARTMENT: Mechanical Engineering

COURSE CODE-COURSE NAME: ME-404L- CAD/CAM Lab CR: 0-2
COURSE DESCRIPTION: The course will cover the fundamentals of engineering modeling, analysis and
manufacturing. It will be helpful to make a model on SolidWorks Software and then manufacture the complex
parts using CNC Machines. This course provides practical application of CAD/CAM Course. At the end of
this course, students will be able to design and manufacture various machine components.
TEXT AND MATERIALS:
Textbooks:
1. Introduction to Solid Modeling Using SOLIDWORKS
2. SOLIDWORKS User e-Help
3. GSK 218M CNC System, Programming and Operation Manual
4. GSK980TD, Turning Machine CNC System, User Manual
5. Class Tutorials
PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Following PLOs are addressed in the course:
1. PLO-3: Design/ Development of Solutions: An ability to design solutions for complex engineering
problems and design systems, components or processes that need specific needs.
2. PLO-5: Modern Tool Usage: An ability to create, elect and apply appropriate techniques, resources
and modern engineering and IT tools.
3. PLO-8: Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and
norms of engineering practice.
4. PLO-12: Life Long Learning: An ability to recognize the need for and have the preparation and ability
to engage in independent and lifelong learning.

COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES:

CLO-1: To use 2D and 3D tools to construct 3D models of the machine parts, generate their 2D sketches
and to assemble the parts and apply mechanisms to ensure the required working. (Psychomotor, P4-
Mechanism)
CLO-2: To construct a program for CNC Machine or fix syntax errors in it. Setup work piece and
manipulate the machine for usage. (Psychomotor, P4-Mechanism)
CLO-3: To develop an understanding of logical reasoning with machine codes and find programming
bugs. (Cognitive, C5-Evaluate)
CLO-4: To present CNC machine tool path simulations and G&M code in the manufacturing module of
SOLIDWORKS. Deploy and run the generated program on CNC machines. (Affective, A2-Respond)
CLO-5: Build an open-ended project using the principles of CAD / CAM while displaying commitment
to professional ethics. (A4-Organise)
