Course Syllabus:

Students can take Advanced CAD twice, once with an emphasis in architectural drafting and once with an emphasis in mechanical drafting- 4 credits total)  Advanced CAD students complete more advanced computer aided design problems than were done in the introductory class. CAD Mechanical students are involved with machine drafting components while CAD Architecture students draw light frame buildings and details that relate to them. The CAD classes provide students an introduction to technical training needed to enter various fields of computer aided drafting and design. This course  for college credit through ICCC is entitled Introduction to Computer Aided Drafting. This course provides the student with an introduction to the use of computer aided drafting software to make drawings of various objects. Students will create and modify drawings, print hard copies, and change the drawing environment to meet task requirements. AutoCAD 2002 and Inventor software is used to complete assignments.
