PRDE 1320 - Creo Design Fundamentals

Credit Hours: 4.00

Prerequisites: PRDE 1010

This course introduces students to the core tools and workflows of Creo. Students will learn fundamental part and assembly modeling techniques, sketching, feature creation, dimensioning, and parametric design principles. The course emphasizes industry-relevant practices, including model organization, design intent, and the creation of detailed engineering drawings. Upon completion of the course, students will be able to build and modify 3D models, produce accurate documentation, and apply Creo skills to basic product design tasks. No prior Creo experience is required.
