Engineering CAD 1
Course Number: 6511
Course Length: year
Credits: 1.0
Fee: $20.00
Open To: freshmen, sophomores,
juniors, and seniors
Engineering CAD 1 is a basic course in engineering
and AutoCAD 2017 (Computer Aided Design)
drawing. The purpose of this course is to achieve
a competent level of proficiency in AutoCAD 2017
by demonstrating how the computer can be used
as a problem-solving tool in the design process.
Students will be introduced to pre-engineering
principles related to STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering & Math), with an emphasis on
Technology & Engineering. Students will use
AutoCAD to design models which they will then
construct. Model building will include Maglev
cars, bridges, airplanes and earthquake towers.
Prerequisite: None
Engineering CAD 2
Course Number: 6521
Course Length: year
Credits: 1.0
Fee: $20.00
Open To: sophomores, juniors,
seniors
Engineering CAD 2 is for the experienced
engineering student who has taken Engineering
CAD 1. The purpose of this course is to achieve
a competent level of proficiency in Inventor 2017
by demonstrating how the computer can be used
as a problem-solving tool in the design process.
Students will further explore engineering principles
introduced in ENG CAD 1. Students will use
Inventor 2017 to design 3D models they can use to
test and prototype ideas. Students will complete a
series of projects including virtual prototyping, 3D
printing, Sumo cars, and CO 2 cars.
Prerequisite: Engineering CAD 1
Woodworking 2
Course Number: 6523
Course Length: year
Credits: 1.0
Fee: $20.00
Open To: sophomores, juniors, and
seniors
This course places emphasis on advanced skill and
knowledge in machine and tool use. Theoretical
and practical experience in woodworking is
studied. Each student will select, design and
construct original projects.
Prerequisite: Woodworking 1
Advanced Engineering
CAD
Course Number: 6540
Course Length: year
Credits: 1.0
Fee: $20.00
Open To: juniors, seniors
This is a course for the advanced CAD (Computer
Aided Design) user. It is designed for those juniors
or seniors who are planning on majoring in science,
engineering, design/decorating, or technologyrelated
majors in college. The purpose of the course
is to achieve a competent level of proficiency in
Inventor 2017 and demonstrate how the computer
can be used as a problem-solving tool in the design
process. The content includes advanced geometric
construction, mechanical problem solving, and
model construction of student designed projects.
Individual study in the student’s planned college
major or vocation is developed. Revit 2017 will
also be reviewed.
Prerequisite: Engineering CAD 1 and 2 and/or
recommendation of instructor.
