Course Descriptions

10-614-113 2D Essentials ...an introduction to technical communication, annotation, geometric construction, model, orthographic and pictorial, section and auxiliary views and dimensioning. Knowledge integral to model building.

10-614-136 3D Modeling with Inventor ...develop the knowledge and skills to create solid models using Autodesk Inventor; creating and editing 3D drawings; rapid prototyping; manipulating data.

10-606-166 SolidWorks Loft/Surface ...necessary to create and manipulate lofted and surface component parts using SolidWorks software. Course content includes lofting, sweeping complex contours, and surfaces. (Prerequisite: 10-606-163, Solidworks-Intermediate)

10-606-162 Solidworks Fundamentals ...terminology, software operation and interface, creating basic models, casting and forging models. (Corequisite: 10-606-119, Sketching-Technical; OR 10-614-113 2D Essentials; Familiarity with Windows file management)

10-606-165 Solidworks Sheet Metal ...create and manipulate sheet metal parts using SolidWorks software. Course content includes basic sheetmetal commands, forming tools, sheetmetal drawings, designing sheetmetal parts in the flat state, and top-down sheetmetal assemblies. (Prerequisite: 10-606-164, Solidworks Assembly/Drawing)

10-606-164 Solidworks-Assemblies/Draw ...manipulate configurations, create assemblies, and create dimensioned orthographic drawings using SolidWorks software. (Prerequisite: 10-606-163, SolidWorks Intermediate)

10-606-163 Solidworks-Intermediate ...creating and manipulating intermediate models using SolidWorks software. Course content includes models requiring the use of revolved and swept features, equations, and thin walled parts. (Prerequisite: 10-606-162, Solidworks Fundamentals)
