TDSN 250 - Introduction to CAD

4 Credit: (2 lecture, 2 lab, 0 clinical) 4 Contact Hours:


This course is an introduction to computer aided drafting, design and manufacturing. CAD software is used to create three-dimensional models of solid objects. Part models can then be used in assembly models. Traditional CAD drawings are also produced from the part models. Designs will be used to create parts.
