Computer Aided Drawing and Design 8 (CAD 8)
Grades 8
Computer Aided Drafting provides students with opportunities to discover the basic concepts of design. By the close of the semester each student will have a basic understanding of AutoCAD for producing two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and pictorial representations of mechanical objects. The classroom 3D printer will be used to print out 3D objects. Architecture will be explored through the use of three-dimensional CAD software. Also, students will become aware of the role of CAD in industry. Therefore, practical (real life) situations will be applied to the major topics. Students who wish to proceed further will enroll in CAD I where they will broaden their knowledge of CAD and its applications.
