ENTK 2530Computer Aided Drafting 3-D3

In this mechanical drafting course, students learn the Autodesk Inventor parametric design and solid modeling software tools and computer-aided drafting practices used to develop 3-dimensional solid models. Students learn how to set up constraints and establish relationships among the features of a 3-D model. The skills learned in this course help optimize the design of components and equip the student’s knowledge to design complex 3-dimensional parts, combine these parts into assembly models, and document the designs with 2-dimensional technical drawings.

ENTK 2540Civil 3-D Drafting Technology3

Students gain knowledge and skill in using Autodesk’s Civil 3-D software for Civil Engineering. Major topics include site development, survey of data imports, create and analyze surfaces, model road corridors, create parcel layouts, perform grading volume calculation tasks, and layout pipe networks. Civil 3-D experience provides Civil Engineers, Surveyors, Designers, and Drafters with a comprehensive knowledge in the design, drafting, and management of a wide range of civil engineering projects. The knowledge and understanding of Civil 3-D software benefits graduates from our two-year Drafting Program who seek employment with Civil Engineering Companies, and, additionally provides students with the extra tools to compete and succeed at a four-year university.

ENTK 2685Project Drafting3

An advanced project-based capstone course in which students use AutoCAD to prepare a complete set (when appropriate) of working mechanical or architectural drawings, depending on student interest. Working in the drafting industry is simulated by allowing students the opportunity to complete a real-world drafting project that includes a wide range of experience in the selected drafting field. Students rely on the AutoCAD commands, computer aided design and drafting applications, drafting theory, and resources explored throughout the Drafting Technology program to show, through quantity and quality of drawings, that they have achieved skill development and knowledge in the selected drafting field.
