Mechanical engineering Engineering project management Biotechnology Scientific researchSkills
communication autocad inventorWelcome to Viterbo University's Engineering Design Graphics course, where the future of design and visualization is taking shape.
In this introductory course, students will delve into the essentials of drafting communication and the visualization of scientific data. They will explore the world of computer-assisted drafting (CAD), mastering the creation and detailing of 2-D drawings and 3-D solid models while adhering to engineering drafting standards. They will also learn to interpret standard engineering drawings and develop a fundamental understanding of programming to manipulate data sets and generate presentation-quality visuals.
Our Ideal Partner
We're seeking business owners who are enthusiastic about collaborating with students, possessing clear projects with well-defined business problem statements. Whether the projects are research-focused, task-focused, or a fusion of both, we value employers open to negotiating project scopes. This flexibility allows for dynamic and productive collaborations.
Learners
Deliverables are negotiable, and will seek to align the needs of the learners and the organization.
Some final project deliverables might include:
- A 10-15 minute presentation on key findings and recommendations
- One-page written description
- Freehand ideation sketches
- 3-D CAD model (AutoDesk Inventor)

Project Examples
Requirements
Learners in groups of 3-5 will work with your company to identify your needs and provide actionable recommendations, based on their in-depth research and analysis.
Project activities that learners can complete may include, but are not limited to:
- Developing 3-dimensional visualization skills through sketching
- Producing 2-D and 3-D computer-aided drafting for visualization and design
- Applying computer-aided drafting tools to solve problems in engineering and theater
- Translating ideas into meaningful visual representations to communicate as engineers, designers, and technicians.
Past projects include:
- Partnering with USGS to design a fume hood for a large fish tank
- Working alongside a biology professor at UWL to design emergent aquatic insect traps
