Digital Modeling in CAD Engineering Course at the Department of Computer Science

摘要

This paper describes the content of our CAD engineering course and the exercise of Digital Modeling for fourth grade students during the first semester in the department of information and computer sciences. In the course, five main important parts of CAD systems will be discussed as follows: (1) Introduction to CAD, (2) Design Theory and Process, (3) Interactive Method, (4) Solid Modeling, (5) Computer Graphics. The practice for students as a part of the course is so-called "Digital Modeling" that is a design process from a solid modeling and rendering to an evaluation of real models made by means of a rapid prototyping system.
