Time of Day
Term
- CAD 140 - Technical Drawing
- Enhances the principles learned that are related directly to the field of drafting and design. Gives a more in-depth exposure to detail and working drawings, dimensioning, tolerancing and conventional drafting practices. Teaches CAD modeling, may include parametric modeling. (Credit will not be awarded for both CAD 140 and DRF 140.)Lecture 2 hours. Laboratory 2 hours. Total 4 hours per week.
3 credits - CAD 241 - Parametric Solid Modeling I
- Focuses on teaching students the design of parts by parametric solid modeling. Topics covered will include, but not limited to, sketch profiles; geometric and dimensional constraints; 3-D features; model generation by extrusion, revolution and sweep; and the creation of 2-D drawing views that include sections, details and auxiliary. Part I of II. (Credit will not be awarded for both CAD 241 and DRF 241.)Lecture 2-3 hours. Laboratory 2-3 hours. Total 4-6 hours per week.
3-4 credits - CAD 242 - Parametric Solid Modeling II
- Focuses on teaching students the design of parts by parametric solid modeling. Topics covered will include, but not limited to, sketch profiles; geometric and dimensional constraints; 3-D features; model generation by extrusion, revolution and sweep; and the creation of 2-D drawing views that include sections, details and auxiliary. Part II of II. (Credit will not be awarded for both CAD 242 and DRF 242.)
3-4 credits - CAD 260 - Computer Applications for Surveyors and Technicians
- Studies and evaluates numerous COGO software and associated drafting packages. Includes calculations and drafting of traverse adjustment, subdivision, and curves. (Credit will not be awarded for both CAD 260 and DRF 260.)Lecture 2 hours. Laboratory 2 hours. Total 4 hours per week.
