Prerequisites: Junior standing or above in an engineering major with knowledge

of E MCH 210 and 211 or equivalent.

Course overview and objectives:

The course objectives are to understand how engineering design efforts are supported
through the use of advanced Computer Aided Design (CAD). Advanced CAD makes creating
rich and complex designs possible. Advanced CAD (in this offering CATIA V5) is used as a
design tool to build parts and assemblies, and to create drawings of those parts and assemblies.
Students will learn basic FEA (Finite Element Analysis) capabilities to conduct structural
analysis and computer simulation of designs. Students will learn how to generate models,
establish meshes, apply boundary conditions, loads, and material properties to the model for
structural analysis, and then generate an FEA report. Through various exercises, design projects
with rapid prototyping models, and building design portfolios, students will obtain a solid
foundation in the use of advanced CAD for their designs and engineering analyses.

Class Policies:

The following are some ground rules to help us maintain a steady progress through the
semester:

1. Assignments submitted after its due time will receive a 20% deduction. A further 20%
reduction will be applied for every week beyond the first.
2. Punctual attendance is mandatory for all the class periods. Course grade will be dropped
to the next lower grade for every class missed. All excused absences must be supported
by written documentation, such as doctor's receipt, Penn State athletics travel notice,
ROTC notice, etc.

Academic Integrity:

Senate Policy 49-20 Academic Integrity

Definition and expectations: Academic integrity is the pursuit of scholarly activity in an open,
honest and responsible manner. Academic integrity is a basic guiding principle for all
academic activity at The Pennsylvania State University, and all members of the University
community are expected to act in accordance with this principle. Consistent with this
expectation, the University's Code of Conduct states that all students should act with personal
integrity, respect other students' dignity, rights and property, and help create and maintain an
environment in which all can succeed through the fruits of their efforts.
Academic integrity includes a commitment not to engage in or tolerate acts of
falsification, misrepresentation or deception. Such acts of dishonesty violate the
fundamental ethical principles of the University community and compromise the worth of
work completed by others.

The Penn State Principles:

1. I will respect the dignity of all individuals within the Penn State community;
2. I will practice academic integrity;
3. I will demonstrate social and personal responsibility;
4. I will be responsible for my own academic progress and agree to comply with all
University policies.

Statement of Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act:

Penn State welcomes students with disabilities into the University's educational programs. If you
have a disability-related need for reasonable academic adjustments, contact the Office for
Disability Services (ODS) at 814-863-1807 (V/TTY). For further information regarding ODS,
please visit the Office for Disability Services website at http://equity.psu.edu/ods/. In order to
receive consideration for course accommodations, you must contact ODS and provide
documentation (see the documentation guidelines at http://equity.psu.edu/student-disability-
resources/guidelines). If the documentation supports the need for academic adjustments, ODS
will provide a letter identifying appropriate academic adjustments. Please share this letter and
discuss the adjustments with your instructor as early in the course as possible. You must contact
ODS and request academic adjustment letters at the beginning of each semester.
Attendance:

Religious observances are not counted as absences, though observing students must inform the
instructor in advance that they will not be present. Official universities activities are excused
absences if the student informs the instructor in advance and provides appropriate
paperwork. Absence due to sickness does not require a doctor’s note, but it is the student’s
obligation to inform the instructor promptly and to bring to the instructor’s attention extended
medical absences as soon as possible. It is the responsibility of the absent student to catch up on
any missed material and do any make-up work required by the instructor.
Information about How to Contact Counseling and Student Health

Students with academic concerns related to this course should contact the instructor in
person or via email. Students also may occasionally have personal issues that arise in the course
of pursuing higher education or that may interfere with their academic performance. If you find
yourself facing problems affecting your coursework, you are encouraged to talk with an
instructor and to seek confidential assistance at the Penn State Counseling and Psychological
Services (CAPS) Center at (814) 863-0395. Visit their website for more
information http://studentaffairs.psu.edu/counseling/. Also, crisis intervention is always
available 24/7 from Centre County CAN HELP (1-800-643-5432), or contact University Police
at (814) 863-1111.
