CAD Assignment
Section 2: Written Report
Each student has to submit one written report that thoroughly explains the design steps of
the part. Step-by-step instructions accompanied with figures are required. The report
must also explain the machining operations of the designed parts.
Students are required to submit CAD assignment package which include a CAD file in
floppy disk (one diskette for one file) and a written report. Clearly label your name and
student ID on the submitted floppy disk and report.
This assignment must be an individual work. Do not copy your friends. Any assignment in
question will receive a zero score for CAD section. And no rework of any kind is accepted.
