The use of powerful parametric-based CAD systems in Engineering is a major trend and one that this text addresses directly. There has been an increased emphasis on the use of CAD tools, especially ProEngineer (PRO/E), in engineering design. CAD programs, including PRO/E, are used to create, test, modify, and eventually deliver project designs for manufacturing. This new workbook/text introduces an innovative way of teaching CAD and PRO/E methods, by using actual mechanical design projects. The approach teaches instructions & commands, illustrations, and explanations by way of doing realistic mechanical projects. "Mechanical Design Modeling Using ProEngineer" by Condoor is the most up-to-date text on PRO/E, covering the latest release of the product, ProEngineer 2001.Condoors unique approach accomodates beginners, intermediate students, and those with some PRO/E capability. Each page is laid out carefully so that students can match design steps with PRO/E commands and procedures. This approach encourages the reader to get acquainted with the actual work of designing components and assembling a final product of mechanical system.
The text can be used by students in Freshmen Graphics, by those taking a later CAD or CAD/CAM course, and by those taking a Senior Design course where practical CAD usage is needed. It covers the basic procedures of PRO/E and more with a unique "how to" approach.
