COURSE SYLLABUS

1. TITLE OF COURSE: INTRODUCTION TO PRO ENGINEER/BASICS
PREFIX/NUMBER: CAD 153 CREDIT HOURS: 3.0
2. PREREQUISITE: Prior CAD experience
3. RESOURCES NEEDED:
TEXT: Design Modeling with Pro/Engineer by James E. Bolluyt, Schroff Development Corporation: Publisher Pro/Engineer Tutorial (Wildfire Edition) by Roger Toogood, Schroff Development Corporation: Publisher
SUPPLIES: Notebook, calculator, 3 1/2" HD floppy diskettes and pencil.
4. COURSE DESCRIPTION: Introduces basic Pro/Engineer software operation including part creation, drawing creation, and assembly creation.  Pro/Engineer is a 3D solid modeling software from parametric technologies.
5. COURSE GOAL: The student will demonstrate familiarity with the techniques involved in using Pro/Engineer software to create 3D solid models used in mechanical design, manufacturing, and rapid prototyping.
6. COURSE OBJECTIVES:
A. The student will be able to describe the basics of the Pro/Engineer user interface.
B. The student will be able to start Pro/Engineer and conduct a design session.
C. The student will demonstrate a working knowledge of the Pro/E environment.
D. The student will begin a new part, setup datum planes, choose a first solid feature, and build simple, intermediate, and advanced parts in Pro/E.
E. The student will demonstrate an understanding of the Pro/E Sketcher methodology and commands for creating geometry, modifying geometry, and constraining geometry.
F. The student will be able to list the Sketcher assumptions that help create geometry.
G. The student will be able to identify regeneration failures and correct them.
H. The student will demonstrate the use of Pro/E construction and work management tools in datum creation, datum coordinate systems, view enhancement, environment settings, and parametric view management.
I. The student will be able to create layers, add bosses, add ribs, and round edges using Pro/E.
J. The student will demonstrate the ability to delete, suppress, resume, reorder, change, modify, redefine, reroute, and regenerate features in Pro/E.
K. exploded assembly.
L. The student will be able to construct an assembly using pro/E, handle assembly failures, and create an exploded assembly.
M. The student will demonstrate the ability to plot wireframe and hidden line parts.
N. The student will demonstrate the ability to create file translations to-and-from DXF, IGES, and SLA formats.
7. EVALUATION PROCEDURES:
85% - The student’s grade will be based on the scores received on periodic quizzes and classroom assignments.
10% - Will be based on the score received by the student on the midterm and final examinations.
5% - The student’s grade will be based on the instructor’s evaluation of the student’s attendance pattern, demonstration of a professional attitude, and participation in class activities/discussions.

 69 to   0 F
Special Remarks:
A. Attendance:  College policy states that students may be dropped from enrollment when absent 20% of the scheduled class meetings.  If enrolled from the beginning of the term, 15 hours will usually constitute 20% of a four-credit semester course which meets five hours per week.  Reinstatement procedures are described in the PCC catalog.
 B. Tardy Policy:  A student who is late three times (enters classroom after the instructor has taken roll) will be charged with one full absence unless the student can provide valid reasons for one or more of these tardies.
C. Assignments/Missed Exams:  It is the student's responsibility, whether present or absent, to obtain all material presented and to complete all course assignments.  If prior arrangements are made or extenuating circumstances exist, makeup of tests may be allowed.  Late homework papers will not be accepted unless those same extenuating circumstances exist.  Makeup of quizzes is to be at the instructor's discretion.
8. COURSE OUTLINE
9. METHODS OF INSTRUCTION:
To be successful in this course, students are expected to participate in discussions, readings, in-class writing, and peer review activities. The instructor may assign point values to such activities.
10. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
The very nature of higher education requires that students adhere to accepted standards of academic integrity. Therefore, Pueblo Community College has adopted a policy of academic conduct as described in the Student Handbook. Violation of academic integrity may be defined to include the following: cheating, plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, abuse of academic materials, complicity in academic dishonesty, and personal misrepresentation. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty. Sanctions for violating the standards of academic integrity may include warning, probation, suspension, and/or failure of the course or assignment at the discretion of the instructor.
11. ADA NOTICE:
Students who have a documented disability may be eligible to receive accommodations for this class. Please contact the Disability Resources Center at 549-3446 for further information.
