CAD 1203 - Introduction to Computer Aided Design

Credits: 3
This course teaches students to use modern CAD software to produce two-dimensional drawings for manufacturing applications. It also covers coordinating systems, proper dimensioning, use of sectioning and projections for visualization, symbol libraries, file management, and collaborative techniques. It also demonstrates basic principles of Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) to show how 2D CAD designs are converted to Computer Numeric Control (CNC) programs to direct automated machining equipment.
