CAD Student ePortfolios
Ideal class for students interested in the fields of Engineering, Mechanical and Architecture Design.
CAD 1 & 2 is designed to reinforce and expand upon the skills learned in Orientation to Technology and is an introductory course covering the operation of a typical CAD system. Content stresses CAD graphic commands, proper manipulation, industrial CAD software and hardware to produce engineering drawings. Emphasis is placed on developing entry-level CAD user skills using the current version of the AutoCAD software. The class is designed to prepare students for the world of work, advancement to the local community college, or a four-year university.
