“…Therefore, like most engineering programs 2 -4 , our manufacturing engineering program at Virginia State University places a great emphasis on hands-on activities in part design and product assembly competencies in its curriculum. Manufacturing engineering students develop skills for the various elements of the design process through the curriculum, culminating in a design implementation course during their senior year 5 . The program offers at least six courses in which engineering design practice is included.…”

This paper focuses on a 3-D solid modeling technique employed in reverse engineering of a Toy Car. Engineering Graphics and CAD/CAM are two of the core courses taught in our Manufacturing Engineering program in sophomore and junior years respectively. The Engineering Graphics curriculum familiarizes students with 2-D drafting and 3-D solid modeling and assembly of simple products. In continuation, both computer aided design and manufacturing, as well as Rapid Prototyping application, are covered in the CAD/CAM course. Furthermore, application of computer aided technologies in manufacturing simulation and engineering analysis, as well as other areas of the students' interest, are practiced in under graduate research and/or individual studies. Earlier, a team of two students had been engaged in a project titled as: Computer Aided Reverse Engineering of a Toy Car. One of the main objectives of this project was for the students to extend their knowledge of reverse engineering and to also gain a hands-on experience in the field of solid modeling of complicated products. Coordinates Measurement Machine (CMM), a caliper, and a micrometer were used to measure the main dimensions of the Toy Car. A solid modeling program was then used for creating the model and manufacturing analysis. This paper reports the re-engineering methodology and process of the toy car model body as a manufacturing design project.
