AutoCAD
CCM’s focused, streamlined approach to learning all of the basic and advanced features of AutoCAD 2D drawing ensures you will master the powerful tools and applications that this software offers. Level 1: Fundamentals and Level 2: Beyond Fundamentals provide the must-have knowledge and skills needed to secure a position or enhance your existing skill set. Expanded content and advanced features and tools are incorporated into both courses.
If you are an existing AutoCAD user with basic knowledge, the Beyond Fundamentals, Level 2 course will upgrade your skills to an advanced level. Students will learn by hands-on experience, real world drawing examples and exercises, all in a supervised CAD lab.
SolidWorks Solid Modeling CAD
Solid Modeling is the computer modeling of 3D solid objects. The objective of solid modeling is to ensure that every surface is geometrically correct. CAD (Computer Aided Design) allows engineers and designers to build realistic computer models of parts and assemblies. This provides designers with the ability to create cutaways of a design. The SolidWorks CAD software that students will use in class and at home will allow them to simulate an object from within and outside, as they design, create and animate a digital 3D model.
