Computer Courses - Computer Assisted Design
Advanced Technology - Computer Assisted Design
(Software upgraded to AutoCAD 2010)
Requirements- two courses, CAD I and CAD II
- “Work experience and computer-aided design (CAD) skills are a student’s best friends when it comes to landing a job and commanding a higher wage. Fifteen years ago, 30 percent of firms had CAD drafting abilities. That figure now stands at 93 percent.”
- “Nearly 30 percent of firms want students with CAD skills, [and] 18 percent want graduates with computer modeling/animation ability.”

Through demonstrations, tutorials, and in-class exercises, students will learn to use the SolidWorks computer-aided design software to create 3D solid models of parts. In addition, students will learn how to modify these parts, generate engineering drawings from them, and build assemblies from individual parts. This is a beginner level class for those with no prior SolidWorks experience. Students should be familiar with using a computer and handling files in Windows.
