CADD-101 Introduction to Computer-Aided Drafting and Design
This
course introduces students to the Computer-Aided Design system. Students will
learn how to adapt basic technical drafting and three-dimensional design
techniques to computer-generated drawings of the various design disciplines. Students
will receive hands-on training and will develop the techniques that are essential
in today’s job market.
Hours Weekly
2 hours lecture, 2 hours lab weekly
Course Objectives
- 1. Identify the hardware and software requirements to maintain and operate a CAD system.
- 2. Create, modify, and publish 2D and 3D CAD drawing files.
- 3. Develop discipline-specific drawing environments.
- 4. Create a library of parts and symbols.
- 5. Identify and apply the appropriate technology to create multiview drawings (sections, details,
etc.) for architectural, electro-mechanical, and civil engineering applications. - 6. Create scale-accurate hardcopy 2D prints and 3D printed models of CAD files using
appropriate technology to accomplish project outcomes.
