  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. Sample Project: Mechanical Analysis of a 1992 Honda Accord Door Handle using ProE and ProMechanica Students: Marc Fahlbeck, Jesse Goyette, & Aaron Dollar

  5. Sample Project: Redesign of a L-Brace of a Wheelchair using ProE and ProMechanica Students: Richard Yazbeck, George Matsumoto & Nicole Veilleux

  6. 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
