1 - Lecture One Mech2305

This document provides an overview of an introductory lecture on computer-aided drafting (CAD) using Solid Edge software. The lecture covers the basics of engineering drawings including why they are used to convey technical information, requirements according to industry standards, and how to set up a template and layers in Solid Edge based on these standards. It also outlines the first assignment which involves creating engineering drawings of a simple physical object using various views and dimensions.

What does Engineer mean? What is an Engineer?


Ingenium is Latin for Mental Power Ingenuity means inventiveness An Engine is a machine of our imagination (engine of our ingenuity) An Engineer conjures up machines

What do Engineers do?

An Engineer Solves Problems?


The ideal engineer is a composite ... He is not a scientist, he is not a mathematician, he is not a sociologist or a writer; but he may use the knowledge and techniques of any or all of these disciplines in solving engineering problems. (N. W. Dougherty,
1955)

Engineers and Fools


An engineer is the fellow who can do it for a dime what any fool can do for a dollar (anonymous)

Scientists and Engineers


Scientists discover the world that exists; engineers create the world that never was (Theodore Von Karman)

Method of Science
Observe phenomena Postulate a theory to explain phenomena Conduct experiments to test the theory Draw conclusions from the experiments

Engineering Method
Examine the problem and prior art Establish a set of performance specs Engineering Develop a design concept Science Test the design concept
By using mathematical models By building physical models and testing

Design Procedure
Problem Definition Problem Evaluation Synthesis Analysis Communication for Manufacture

Conclude if the design fits the specs

Inspiration vs Perspiration
Genius is one per cent inspiration and ninetynine per cent perspiration (Thomas Edison)

ASSIGNMENT ONE

ASSIGNMENT ONE
MECH2000 DRAWING ASSIGNMENT No. 1
Using Solid Edge, you will create an engineering drawing for a simple object The following is the object you will model in this assignment. One sample will be given to each student in the first lecture. A printed assignment will be submitted and will include the following views: an exploded view of the assembly with a parts list isometric view of each object with clear exposition of important features three views of each object using third angle projection the three views will include all relevant dimensions and tolerances as appropriate material specifications Contact Mechanical Engineering Office (45-310) to borrow a Vernier Caliper for taking measurements. You will be asked to leave your student ID card with the office until you return the Vernier Caliper back. 1. Title Page 2. Contents / List of Drawings 3. Introduction 4. Drawings
