This class will introduce students to technical drawing and drafting through Autodesk’s AutoCAD platform. Students will begin by learning basic CAD skills (drawing and sketching in the CAD environment) and then quickly move into developing drawing content (in-class assignments & projects). Students will learn and follow annotation, layout & plotting standards for all classroom and project work. The course will move quickly through the introductory CAD ‘how-to’ lessons allowing more time to practice skills and develop project content. Students will complete a sequence of projects designed to demonstrate competency within the CAD environment. Classes will be a combination of lecture, discussion and lab work. This is an important primer course for all Engineering and Architecture students.
