Computer Aided Design and

Analysis (CAD/E)

Gary Wang, Associate Professor, Ph.D., P. Eng.Dept. of Mechanical & Manufacturing

EngineeringThe University of Manitoba

Welcome to 25.353

Expected Course Outcomes• An understanding of CAD technologies • The ability of using Pro/Engineer• An understanding of the finite element analysis

(FEA)• The ability of using Pro/Mechanica• Increased ability of self-learning• Increased ability in defining and solving an

engineering problem individually as well as in a team setting

• Increased ability of communicate • Satisfaction and enjoyment through struggling,

cooperation and assistance

Why I Value These Outcomes

• CAD/CAE/CAM becomes common practice in industry

• The theoretical part of the course will distinguish you, an engineer, from a software operator.

• A good finite element analyst has to be an engineer!

Why I Value These Outcomes (Cont’d)

• Understanding and proficiency of CAD/CAE will give you an edge of being employed right after your school!

• The ability of self-learning, problem solving, team working, and communication -- life-time abilities

• Fun fun fun -- through struggling and perseverance with assistance

My Teaching Philosophy

• Respect• Responsibility• Participation

Assignments/Labs

• Normally assignments due in a week, lab due at the end of the dedicated time period

• Specific due day for each work will be announced in class

• 20% deduction per day for late work

Marking• Assignments and labs be marked by

TAs• Lab 1 needs a report; Lab 2~5 will be

marked on screen (three chances maximum; you are expected to get full marks for the three labs).

• Project (30% oral by PEs, 70% report by me; chance to improve too)

Exams

• You can DESIGN the exams for me!• No “ambushes”• Include lectures, industrial

presentations, assignments, and labs

Teamwork

• Assignments should be submitted individually

• Labs by a group of two• Projects by a group of four. • All team members get the same mark

unless more than half the team members ask for peer evaluation

Lab Management

• Only directory C:\25.353• No download or deletion• Pro/E work has higher priority over

other work

Other Issues

• Coming to class late• Absences and missed tests and

quizzes• Keeping informed of your grade

Logistics• Me: Gary Wang, E3-476, 474-9463• Office Hour:

– MWF mornings• TAs

– Tingting Li– Xili Duan– Songqing Shan– Bharu Duggirala

Announcement

There is no lab this and the following week.

Have fun ...
