DRAFTING I/CAD-LHS

Meets VPAA One (1) Credit Graduation Requirement
Meets Math Related One (1) Credit Graduation Requirement  

This course is designed to introduce students to Computer Aided Design (CAD) using Unigraphics NX software. Skill emphasis is placed upon 3D solid model development, using the NX Sketcher in combination with various parametric and expression driven feature based modeling techniques. Students will also use NX to create engineering drawings. CAD Drafting concepts will include single and double auxiliary view development, section views, dimensioning techniques, ANSI & SI measurement, ISO symbols, threads & fasteners, basic detailing and an introduction to descriptive geometry. Students may also choose to participate in annual competitions such as those sponsored by ASBE and/or MITES.
