CAD 3 is designed to reinforce and expand upon the skills learned in Orientation to Technology, CAD 1, and CAD 2 and is a hands-on three-dimensional class covering wire frame, surface modeling, and solid modeling technologies. The class is specifically designed for the AutoCAD software package and ideally suited for students completing CAD 1 and CAD 2 courses who want to continue graphics and technical illustrations. Students learn 3-D drafting techniques by constructing a variety of mechanical and architectural components. Texture mapping, rendering, lighting, shadows, dynamic viewing, and automated slide show techniques for electronic portfolios are covered. The class is designed to prepare students for the world of work, advancement to the local community college, or a four-year university.
