MET 123 - Computer Aided Drafting III: Mechanical (SolidWorks)

3 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s): MET 122 or Instructor approval

Course Description: As the third course in a three-term series, this is an elective in the Manufacturing Engineering Technology program. Students will use the techniques learned in MET 121 and MET 122 to reverse engineer an advanced part/project, creating solid models and modifying those models as needed; and the creation of assemblies, and industry standard mechanical drawings. Coursework will focus on continuing to develop techniques in preparing industry standard accurate, legible drawings and solid models. Students will have the opportunity to take the SolidWorks CSWA (Certified SolidWorks Associate) exam at the end of the term.

Course Level: Career/Tech Preparatory
