This course leverages real world design problems presented by automotive manufacturers for casework throughout the class.
Drafting and Assemblies
Today’s CAD systems offer technology to enable advanced drafting and assemblies. This section of the course teaches design engineers how to apply the latest techniques to automotive designs.
| • |
Reinforce drafting skills with creating/manipulating orthographic, auxiliary, and sectional type views. |
| • |
Create dimensions and modify all types of annotations, notes, and symbols on a drawing |
| • |
Reinforce assembly skills with the development of an automotive assembly. |
| • |
Add components to an assembly |
| • |
Design new parts relative to existing models and create relationships between the models |
| • |
Design new parts relative to existing models and create relationships between the models |
| • |
Create mating conditions between component parts |
| • |
Identify the best uses of interpart (linked) geometry and successfully create and edit interpart (linked) geometry |
| • |
Set up component filters in an assembly and use the filters to manipulate the assembly |
| • |
Manage large assembly files effectively |
| • |
Create faceted representations in an assembly and part file and to add these to another assembly |
| • |
Create Local coordinate systems and relate these to the main coordinate system |
Tolerance Management
In automotive design, tolerance control of individual parts is important, but even more critical is the stack-up tolerance of many parts. A candidate will be able to do the following after completing this section:
| • |
Create a simple tolerance stack-up |
| • |
Create assemblies to required form, fit, and function |
| • |
Recognize the difference between statistical tolerances in a design and worst case tolerances |
| • |
Apply common geometric dimensional and tolerance symbols |
Data Management Fundamentals
After completing the data management-specific material, a candidate will be able to:
| • |
Identify data management as well as its need in the automotive design field |
| • |
Organize automotive design data to fit in a system |
| • |
Comprehend the use of the data management in vehicle configurations |
| • |
Interpret tolerance and weld information within a model |
| • |
Create a seed file using the data supplied |
| • |
Recognize the need for part file standards and then how to apply these standards |
Electrical System Fundamentals
This section teaches a high-level explanation of automotive electrical systems.
Candidates will be able to:
| • |
Perform the basic functions of the electrical harness program |
| • |
Integrate features into body and trim parts to accommodate harnessing |
| • |
Identify when multiple harness configurations are needed and then how to match these with vehicle configurations |
| • |
Incorporate features in structural parts to allow for electrical system |
Industrial Processes/Materials
This section covers various manufacturing processes used for automotive parts as well as suggested materials. The candidate will be able to:
| • |
Identify the different manufacturing processes (castings, millings, stamping, forming, etc.) and what is required by manufacturing to make these parts. |
| • |
Recognize the design methods necessary to accommodate different processes |
| • |
Analyze an automotive part and identify the correct material for that part's function |
| • |
Identify the correct process depending on material |
| • |
Create stamped part and a cast, forged, and machined part |
Sheet Metal Fabrication & Processing
Candidates will use a CAD system to create sheet metal features once they complete the certification. The candidate will be able to:
| • |
Identify and integrate sheet metal design rules |
| • |
Create sketches that incorporate sheet metal design |
| • |
Identify the correct sheet metal standard for the situation |
| • |
Design flanges with the correct bend allowances, radius, and setbacks |
| • |
Form and uniform flanges |
| • |
Create and edit the sheet metal features |
| • |
Produce flat patterns from the formed flanges |
| • |
Design sheet metal parts to allow for spring back |
