Introduction to AutoCAD Drawing

Course Number: #6806

Students take the ideas and sketches of an architect or engineer, and turn them into working drawings and blueprints. Using the latest Computer Aided Design (CAD) software students learn the principles of design used by engineers and explore 2D technical drawing concepts. This class is the foundation to develop the skills needed for 3D modeling and design. Architect, Engineer or Interior Designers are just a few fields that utilize the knowledge of CAD.  Students learn multi-view detailing, dimensioning basics, isometric and perspective drawing techniques. This class creates the foundation needed for classes in Engineering or 3D molding both at Academy and beyond.
