Dear Parents,
We are happy to welcome your child to the Computer Aided Design class (CAD) for the 2024-2025 school year at Burlington Township High School! It’s our goal to improve your child’s technological literacy, and develop real world design skills that can directly translate to a future career in engineering design. We aim to explore a variety of programs and concepts:
Unit 1: 2D Design with AutoCAD
Unit 2: Architecture with AutoCAD & Google Sketchup
Unit 3: 3D Product Design with Fusion 360
Unit 4: 3D Media & Animation with Blender
Final Project: Program of Student’s Preference
Core Skills Covered:
3D Modeling / 2D Drafting / Engineered Part Design / 3D Printing / Laser Cutting / Architectural Design/ Orthographic & Isometric Drawing / Scaling / 3D Animation / Texturing / Portfolios / Versioning
Late Work:
Accepted, but 10% is deducted for each day late. Students who are absent have 5 days to submit missing work or complete missing assessments for full credit. Grades will be entered as a zero until completed.
Grading:
Tests/Projects - 50%, Quizzes - 25%, Developmental Assessments - 20%, Homework/Do Nows 5%
Homework is graded at 100% for full effort, 50% for partial effort, or 0% for no completion.
While tests are given, projects make up a large portion of your child’s grade. Projects may be done in groups but individual grades are given for contributions to the final product.
Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns, I look forward to working with you this year!
