    1. Autodesk - UIUC Engineering Cooperative Relationship James M. Leake Department of General Engineering University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign August 4, 2005

    2. My Background Degrees: Art History (BA), Ocean Engineering (BS), Mechanical Engineering (MS) Licenses: PE in NA&ME Overseas: Italy, Tunisia (Peace Corps), UAE Industry: Naval Architect (12 years) Teaching: UAEU (6 years), UIUC (6 years) Publications: McGraw-Hill Inventor book, Thompson Delmar AutoCAD CD’s, Wiley engineering graphics book Research interests: Engineering education - CAD/CAE tools, spatial visualization

    3. Proposal History Draft proposal submitted to Autodesk Manufacturing Systems (June 2003) Funding and technical support to develop software instructional materials to help integrate engineering mechanics curriculum Master’s thesis = Curriculum module Curriculum development grant awarded in December 2003

    4. UIUC College of Engineering US News & World Report Rankings: 4th in graduate engineering programs, 2006 4th in undergraduate engineering programs, 2005 Several departments at or near top of rankings ACES member since 2000

    5. Department of General Engineering Fourth largest department in college Largest percentage of females and minorities At or near top in salaries (starting, 5, 10 years out) and placement OR, controls, mechanics, and business side of engineering Senior design PhD in Systems and Entrepreneurial Engineering (SEE) GE/IE merger – Fall 2006 Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering

    6. GE Design (Mechanics) Track Engineering Graphics & Design AutoCAD, Autodesk Inventor Introduction to General Engineering Design Kinematics FEA Engineering Design Analysis FEA Instrumentation and Test Lab Component Design (elective) Senior Project Design Industry sponsorship Significant MCAD/CAE software usage

    7. GE CAD/CAM/CAE Tools Autodesk Inventor AutoCAD McNeel Rhinoceros ANSYS, ANSYS Workbench MSC Dynamic Designer Blue Ridge Numerics CFDesign Pathtrace EdgeCAM Stratasys Dimension 3D printers

    8. Sample Projects – Engineering Graphics and Design

    9. Senior Project Design Example Automate design process for mixer blender used in food processing industry Autodesk Inventor

    10. Grant Accomplishments CAD/CAE Web site http://leake.ge.uiuc.edu Computer-Aided Design, Analysis, & Prototyping course ASEE 2004 Conference paper in SLC CAD/FEA Integration Best Practices Courseware ASEE EDGD Midyear Conference paper in Williamsburg, VA Mention expenditures: Paid to attend conferences Paid for CADAP TA Paid for ADN and NAFEMS memberships Paid for AutoCAD video tutorialsMention expenditures: Paid to attend conferences Paid for CADAP TA Paid for ADN and NAFEMS memberships Paid for AutoCAD video tutorials

    11. Advanced Course in Computer-Aided Design, Analysis and Prototyping Seniors / graduate students GE design curriculum Project driven Autodesk support

    12. CAD/FEA Best Practices Instructional Software Develop instructional materials to assist design engineers in proper use of CAD-embedded FEA software ANSYS Workbench, Autodesk Inventor Development tools: Macromedia Authorware, Techsmith Camtasia, Adobe Photoshop

    13. Current Masters Thesis Projects CAD/mechanism design Standalone curriculum used in parallel with mechanical design courses Computational tools used to design and analyze mechanisms Design Accelerator MSC Dynamic Designer CAD/manufacturing processes Develop CAD models, standalone curriculum to illustrate manufacturability guidelines

    14. Other Potential Project Ideas Use of linked parameters to create part and product families Parts library for engineering graphics instruction Hybrid (surface + solid) modeling ® Inventor/Rhinoceros interoperability Spatial visualization software

    15. Other Possible Areas for Cooperation Partner in curriculum development proposal (NSF?) Autodesk employment for UIUC grads Work of Professor Wayne Davis Wiley engineering graphics text Scaled-down, inexpensive text to be used with CAD book Use Autodesk products for graphics

    16. Inventor Wish List Foot, meters template Pictorial (isometric) view dimensioning High quality print graphics from Inventor Availability of CMYK, Pantone colors Adding grids (orthographic, isometric) to Inventor models Chapter on product dissection/reverse engineering – potential companies Parts library for EG instruction
