CAD Part 2 Summer Offering

CAD introduces students to the world of engineering drawings. Students in CAD Part 2 will extend their representation of 3D models and assemblies through presentation and animation tools. Students will also use the design process to convert original student ideas and solutions into new 3D models and working drawings without the use of step-by-step instructions. All drawings are prepared to the standards of the industry.

Students will create 3D models, assemblies, formal 3-view drawings with dimensions, plus presentations and animations. 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.
