Engineering Design & Fabrication 1,2

Engineering, Design & Fabrication 1

This course is designed to provide training in the functions of AutoCad software as it relates to architectural design and its related fields.  The course is taught with a realistic, hands-on approach, benefiting both career-oriented and college-bound students.  AutoCad 2-D commands, their applications and how to effectively use them to produce working drawings will be taught in this course.  Program content will consist of directed practice exercises in AutoCad designing; floor plans, house section views, foundation plans, detail plans, plot plans, perspective views, etc. Students interested in architecture, interior design, landscaping, engineering, drafting, and construction or for future homeownership should take this course.  The AutoCad software used in this course is the same used in industry and will provide the student with a direct school to work transition. 
This course has been articulated with Wenatchee Valley College (5 credits per semester).

Engineering, Design & Fabrication 2

This course is designed to provide training in technical illustration, design, and mechanical engineering fields.  The course is taught with a realistic, hands-on approach, benefiting both career-oriented and college-bound students.  AutoCad 2-D and 3-D commands, their applications and how to effectively use them to produce working drawings will be taught in this course.  Program content will consist of directed practice exercises in AutoCad, sketching, dimensioning, blueprint reading, isometrics, 3-d drawing, airbrushing, reverse engineering, plotting, etc. Students interested in computers and the engineering/technical design process will enjoy this hands-on computer-aided drawing course.  The AutoCad software used in this course is the same used in industry and will provide the student with a direct school to work transition. 
Drafting/CAD is credited as both Fine Arts or Occupational.
