ENGT 280 Course Description

Advanced MicroStation for CADD & BIM Applications - 4 Units

Day/Time: Saturdays, 9:00am - 3:30pm for 16 weeks.

This course is for students pursuing an advanced study in MicroStation 3D parametric CADD (Computer Assisted Design and Drafting) and the BIM (Building Information Modeling) approach to building design using Bentley Architecture. Students will apply previously learned drafting conventions to produce two and three dimensional CADD and BIM generated mechanical and architectural drawings and virtual design models. This course benefits all students studying Architecture, Civil Engineering, Drafting, Design and Computer Graphics. High technology skills which are necessary to function as a designer or CADD Drafter are emphasized. This course may be taken once and repeated three times for credit.

Prerequisite: ENGT 170 MicroStation for Basic CADD Applications with a

grade of “C” or better.

Notes:

    • It is required that students concurrently enroll in NVOC 018. The purpose of this class is so that students will be signed up for a computer account, are able to plot/print their drawings, and have access to the lab during non-class hours (open lab).

  • There is no grade associated with the NVOC 018 class and no cost to register.

  • Registration for this class must occur within the first week.

  • There is also a non-credit version for this class. The class number is NVOC 280. Students are not required to have the prerequisite for this option.
