CMDE 1500Two Dimensional CADD
Students will develop knowledge of system configuration, hardware operations and interactive graphics software and will input drafting commands to develop drawings, store data and output drawings to the plotter for hard copy. Student Learning Outcomes: * Perform start up and shut down procedures for computer software. * Manipulate the drawing software. * Set up drawing layout and create basic drawings. * Generate completed drawing in hard copy form. * Store, transfer, and retrieve data in a variety of CADD formats. * Demonstrate the ability to respect others and their ideas.

The primary goal of this course is to introduce students to the aspect of creating components with Inventor parametric modeling software. The course will guide you through constructing basic models, basic mechanical designs, creating multi-view drawings and assembly models. A solid model is more than simply a drawing of an engineered component, it is a true virtual representation of the component, which can be manipulated, combined with other components into assemblies and used to drive the production of the components and the final assembly. We will take a hands-on, exercise intense approach to the parametric modeling techniques and concepts. As an introductory course it is intended to help the student establish a basis for exploring the parametric modeling process and growing in the exciting field of Computer Aided Engineering. Student Learning Outcomes: * Demonstrate the startup of the software and the setup for a new model/drawing to be created. * Utilize the 2d sketching functions of the software to construct solid model geometry . * Create placed features on a model. * Produce a 2 dimensional multi-view drawing from a model according to industry standards. * Utilize dimensional notes to call out various machine element features. * Define and demonstrate the use of standard dimensioning rules and terms. * Create an assembly and establish the assembly relationships between the parts. * Demonstrate the ability to meet deadlines, work independently and respect others.

This course is a further study of Computer-Aided Drafting. Students will PLEASE NOTE: All program plans are preliminary and curriculum 2026-2027 St. Cloud Technical & Community College input drawings using absolute, relative and polar coordinates and will examine advanced CAD capabilities such as complex multi-view drawings, libraries and attributes using 2D and solid modeling software. Student Learning Outcomes: * Demonstrate the use of standard dimensioning rules. * Produce complex multi-view drawings according to industry standards. * Create and modify complex detail part drawings and 3 dimensional objects. * Utilize dimensional notes to call out various machine element features. * Create Blocks, Attributes, and Symbol Libraries. * Demonstrate timeliness in finishing assignments. * Treat classmates with respect. Prerequisite(s): CMDE1504. (3 C: 1 lect/pres, 2 lab, 0 other)
