Computer Aided Drafting & Design (CADD)
CADD 1104, Introduction to CAD (4 Credit Hours)
3 lecture hours per week, 3 lab hours per week, 6 contact hours per week
Introduction to basic concepts and principles of CAD, covering basic CAD commands. This course may not be transferable to a University for use towards a 4-year degree program.
Corequisite(s): DRFT 1103
CADD 1200, Adv Comp Aided Drft & Design (5 Credit Hours)
3 lecture hours per week, 2 lab hours per week, 5 contact hours per week
This course examines the dimensioning, blocks and attributes, section views, isometric drawings, multiview layouts, annotative objects, external references, and sheet sets. Students will learn how to use AutoCAD to dimension drawings, create section lines and graphic patterns, design symbols and attributes for multiple uses, and create sheet sets. Student drawings will be plotted or printed. This course also covers recommended drafting standards and practices for students to use for properly preparing CAD drawings.
Prerequisite(s): CADD 1100* and DRFT 1000*.
* May be taken concurrently.
