Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis course is an intensive study of 3D computer graphics and computer assisted design and drafting (CADD) utilizing the latest release of 3D software. This course offers an in-depth exploration of manufacturing processes. This course benefits all students in areas of study related to engineering, drafting, design, and computer graphics. Students produce 3D, parametric, computer-generated virtual models incorporating mechanical design refinements. The course emphasizes the technological skills necessary to function as a design professional in order to apply 3D design graphics technology to the specific disciplines of mechanical engineering, machine drafting and design, manufacturing, animation, modeling, and illustration. Students are introduced to a variety of ways to produce prototype models directly from CADD-generated solid geometry. Students also take the Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA) industry standard test to check their proficiency, and receive certification upon passing.Usually HeldMon Wed 7:00pm–8:25pm, Mon Wed 3:20pm–4:45pm
