MET 122 - Computer Aided Drafting II: Mechanical (SolidWorks)

3 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s): MET 121 or Instructor approval

Course Description: Second in a three-term series, this course continues with the basic concepts of computer aided design (CAD) and drafting. Course studies will be completed using SolidWorks CAD software. Studies include set-up workspace, sketches, features and drawings. Working in both two- and three dimensions as well as in solids, students will learn the operating system, command codes, file menu, and symbol library of an industry standard, computer aided design and drafting system. Focus will be on sheet metal, weldments, and gears and gear-mates as used in manufacturing.

Course Level: Career/Tech Preparatory
