Catalog Course Description

Examines the use of Computer-aided design (CAD) in advanced operations of making three-dimensional models. Solids analysis and the manipulation of geometry is explored utilizing current CAD software. Concepts of parametric modeling, drafting principles are reviewed and developed as they relate to solid model geometry.
