    Description
    This course is an intensive study of 3D computer graphics (C.G.) and computer-assisted design and drafting (CADD). In the course, students utilize up-to-date 3D software to produce 3D, parametric, computer-generated virtual models that incorporate mechanical design refinements. Emphasis is placed on technological skills needed by design professionals, and how 3D design graphics technology is applied to the specific disciplines of mechanical engineering, machine drafting and design, manufacturing, animation, modeling, and illustration. In the course, students are introduced to a variety of ways to produce prototype models directly from CADD-generated solid geometry. Students also take an industry standard test, Certified SolidWorks Associate (C.S.W.A.), to check for proficiency and receive certification upon passing. The course is intended for students interested in engineering, drafting, design, and computer graphics.
