ENGR 5015G - Advanced Computer Aided Geometric Design

This course will cover advanced computational topics in the design of geometric objects and various techniques for mathematically representing, modeling and inspecting complex curves and surfaces. The course provides an advanced study of geometric modeling and the required methods to describe the shape of complex three-dimensional objects for engineering design and computer-aided engineering applications. The course also covers the engineering applications of curves and surface geometric modeling, reconstruction of 3-D CAD models from digital scans, accuracy and robustness of geometric computations, geometric tolerances and the principles of coordinate metrology-based surface inspection methods.
