AENG 347 - Engineering Visualization

Institution:
Millersville University of Pennsylvania
Subject:
Description:
Students study the relationships of three-dimensionallines, angles, surfaces, and solids by projecting three-dimensional reality onto a two-dimensional surface such as a computer screen. The students gain the necessary tools and principles to graphically visualize, manipulate, and solve engineering and architectural design problems. Traditionally these problems were solved by doing mathematical calculations. In contrast, this class uses descriptive geometry to solve three-dimensional spatial problems graphically. The computer is used as the main drafting tool. Engineering visualization extends beyond the principles of descriptive geometry. Students use visualization techniques and spatial reasoning to solve fundamental engineering concepts and related problems, represent their design proposals, view the 3D environment from any angle using a flying camera, and support their spatial, numeric, algebraic and quantitative thinking. 2 hrs. lec., 3 hours lab.
