B.E. (Automobile Engineering) CAD Modeling Syllabus - Mumbai University 2026

Module 0: Prerequisite

Module I: Introduction to CAD

• Different modeling techniques (solid modeling, surface modeling, parametric modeling, feature based modeling) for creation of CAD models, creation of CAD models from different perspectives.

Module II: Sketching using 2D sketch tools

• Setting the sketch environment, creating sketch from a geometry using the sketching commands like- line, circle, arc, etc., modification in sketches using commands like- move, trim, rotate, etc.), use of viewing commands like- pan, zoom, rotate, etc., use of sketch constraints.

Module III: Solid Modeling

• Settings environment for part modeling, creating machine/engineering parts/components using features like – extrude, revolve, mirror, threading, fillet, hole, bend, rib, patterns (rectangular, circular, etc.), etc.

Module IV: Surface Modeling

• Generation of surfaces from open profiles using create tools like extrude, sweep, loft, trim, etc., path & guide surface option commands like – extend, trim, shell, patch, etc., mesh of curves, free form surfaces

Module V: Assembly

• Constraints, exploded views, interference check, drafting (layouts, standard & sectional views, detailing & plotting), use of transformations and manipulation commands (translate, rotate, scale, etc.) to modify and assemble the created CAD models.

Module VI: Data Exchange

• CAD data exchange formats Like IGES, PDES, PARASOLID, DXF and STL along with their comparison and applicability.

• 03 Generation of surface model of any two objects like - hull of a ship, aeroplane wing, etc. using various surface creation tools in CAD software.
• 1 Generation of an assembly model (minimum five child parts) along with working (production) drawing of the system, creation of 3D models with assembly constraints, interference check, exploded view, GD&T, tolerance table and fit table, bill of material.
• 04 2) Reverse Engineering of a physical model: disassembling of physical model having not less than five parts, measuring the required dimensions of each component, sketch the minimum views required for each component, convert these sketches into 3-D model and create an assembly drawing with actual dimensions (Note: Any one out of above)
