Introduction to Computer-Aided Design

1 Credit

Introduces students to the principles of computer-aided design (CAD), with a focus on building core skills in 2D sketching, 3D part modeling, assemblies, and technical documentation. Course covers fundamental CAD techniques, creating and modifying complex geometries, managing design intent through parametric modeling, and producing industry-standard technical drawings. Students will apply these skills to create and refine components, culminating in a fully realized aerospace CAD project by semester's end.
