LEARNING OUTCOMES
Students will familiarize with graphical presentation methods (wireframe, surface and solid), used in computer aided design and drafting. They will get acquainted with the mathematical / geometrical methods, that form the basis of computer graphics software. To practice this newly acquired knowledge, students are required to complete a series of small projects, both in the lab and at home, using one of the most popular in the industry design and drafting software, CATIA by Dassault Systemes, which is available in the computer lab. Nevertheless, they are free to choose and use whatever other software, they have handy (e.g. SolidWorks, Mechanical Desktop,ProEngineer κλπ.), but this will not be available in the class.
