This course affords students the
opportunity to apply previous course work
knowledge by learning to convert
two-dimensional geometry into
three-dimensional models. Students will
produce solid models with volumetric
properties suitable for prototyping
applications; they will create surface
models comprised of freeform surfaces
applicable to consumer electronics and
vehicle design. The complex geometry of
surface models facilitates the creation of
organic shapes. Students will work with
Rhinoceros NURBS modeling for
Windows. A comprehensive student
project involving both modeling methods as
well as renderings with a simple path
animation is required.

cumulative knowledge of all the previous
course work in CAD by providing a vehicle
for problem solving through creative
design. Students will be challenged to

in research, sketching, evaluation, and
the production of a solid and/or surface
model. Students will be required to give a
presentation with a specific set of
criteria for a critical evaluation. The
course will conclude by producing a rapid
prototype of the finished design on a
CAD-CAM machine.
