Students will spend one quarter learning to create working and pictorial drawings using traditional drafting techniques. Once they have a firm understanding of these drafting techniques, they will advance to using Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) software called Key Creator which will allow then to create solid modeling drawings. For the final product, students will create a prototype with the use of the Dimension 3D printer. Students considering careers in the fields of Engineering, Construction or Manufacturing will find this course beneficial.
