CAD introduces students to the world of engineering drawings. Students in CAD Part 1 will create 3D drawings of mechanical objects, layered with dimensions and annotations. All drawings are prepared to the standards of the industry.
Students will create 3D models, assemblies, and formal 3-view drawings with dimensions. Each week, students will be introduced to a new set of drawing skills. Students will use the free educational version of Autodesk Inventor 2019, a respected industry-level CAD software platform.
