  1. Describe and apply the adaptive assembly approach.
    1. Update an entire system after changing one parameter.
    2. Explore and evaluate different design variations and alternatives to determine the best design.
  2. Interpret and apply the basic parametric modeling process.
    1. Explain and apply constructive solid geometry concepts.
    2. Explain and apply Boolean operations.
    3. Create placed features.
    4. Use the different extrusion options.
  3. Produce a simple parametric model.
    1. Create parametric relations.
    2. Use dimensional variables.
    3. Display, add, and delete geometric constraints.
    4. Display and modify parametric relations.
    5. Create constrained sketches.
  4. Create drawing layouts from a parametric model.
    1. Add borders and title block.
    2. Arrange and manage 2D views.
    3. Create sectioned orthogonal views.
    4. Create reference dimensions.
Evaluation Criteria/Policies:

The grade will be determined using the Delaware Tech grading system:

90 – 100 = A
80 – 89 = B
70 – 79 = C
0 – 69 = F

Students should refer to the Student Handbook for information on the Academic Standing Policy, the Academic Integrity Policy, Student Rights and Responsibilities, and other policies relevant to their academic progress.
