Learning Outcomes
The main objectives for this course are to provide students with a conceptual understanding of
the principles of CAD systems, the implementation of these principles, and its connections to
CAD based analysis tools.
 Ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs within realistic
constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety,
manufacturability, and sustainability.
 Ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for
engineering practice.
 Recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.

Grading Policy
Assignments: 30%
Weekly Discussions: 10%
Two In-class Exams: 40%
Final Project: 20%
Assignments: Each module will contain an assignment that must be submitted. Assignments will
be assigned and due according to the attached schedule or the date announced in class (if any
changes to the schedule are made). Assignments may be turned in up to one week later and shall
receive a penalty of 10 points. No late homework will be graded or accepted without prior approval
of the instructor beyond this period unless for extreme circumstances. Students missing class will
need to make arrangements to turn in assignments by the announced deadline. Missing class is not
a valid excuse for not having homework complete. Assignments will consist of several problems and
must be completed as individuals. Assignment problems will be graded and returned in a timely
manner.
Assignments may be turned in by:

 Submission to Canvas
Assignments may not be given to another student to be turned in on your behalf. (See Academic
Integrity section.)
Discussions: Each module will contain a discussion prompt that students must create a response to
by the 5th day of the module and must reply to at least two other students by the 7th of the module.
Exams: Two Open Book/Open Notes/Closed Neighbor tests will be given as announced in the
attached course schedule. THERE WILL BE NO MAKE-UP TESTS. All tests must be taken during
the assigned dates – including the final exam. If a student is going to miss a test due to an “excused
absence”, arrangements must be made before the regularly scheduled test. Students must
communicate with the instructor before the test via email. Students may not seek help from other
students or any other individual while taking exams and evidence of cheating will be taken
seriously.
Final Project: Final project requirements will be discussed at a later date in the course and will be
used to demonstrate the skills learned within this course. The student will need to record a brief
presentation to share with the class.
Final Grade Determination: All grades will be recorded to the nearest 0.1 percent in the grade book.
The final grade determination will be based on a final grade rounded to the nearest whole number.
The final grades will be determined using the following table:
Grade Range Reported Grade

90 – 100 A
80 – 89 B
70 – 79 C
60 – 69 D
Below 60 F

absence)
 Conclude email with your name
Under normal circumstances, emails will be responded to within 24 hours. When possible, an
announcement will be made in class and posted to the class website if response times will be longer
