Parametric Products in Mechanical & Industrial Engineering Curriculum
• Since early 1990s:– Parametric products are extensively used throughout the
curriculum both at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
– Software products include primarily ProE and ProMechanica.
– ProE and ProMechanica are installed in all 25 computers in the MIE computing lab center. It is also installed in about 50 of our college-run computers.
– It is the most widely used software by students in all their design related activities
ProE and ProMechanica in MIE COURSES
• COURSES: – MIE113: Freshmen-level Introduction to Design– MIE213: Sophomore-level Concept and Configuration Design– MIE313: Junior-level Parametric Design– MIE375: Junior-level Design for Manufacturing– MIE413: Senior-level Design of Systems– MIE415: Senior Design Elective Course– MIE418: Engineering Kinematics Course– MIE497A: Assistive Technology Course– MIE597O: Information Engineering– MIE605: Finite Element Course– MIE Honors Projects & Independent Study Projects– MIE Open House & Student Orientation
Sample Project: Mechanical Analysis of a 1992 Honda Accord Door Handle
using ProE and ProMechanica
Students: Marc Fahlbeck, Jesse Goyette, & Aaron Dollar
Sample Project: Redesign of a L-Brace of a Wheelchair using ProE and
ProMechanica
Students: Richard Yazbeck, George Matsumoto & Nicole Veilleux
A PTC-UMASS collaborative educational community
• GOAL: – ProE to Computer-Aided Mechanical Design like
Xerox to photocopying• Virtual Design Classroom• Other Parametric products such as Windchill• Information Technology Collaboration• Participation in PTC sponsored design contests• Improved curriculum-level integration• Technology transfer
– Partnership with other UMASS campuses– Partnership with k-12 teachers in training
• Resources to facilitate easy prototyping
