Course Overview
Covers topics in engineering graphics and computer aided design, with emphasis on the creation and management of models and drawings in a team environment. Topics include basic tolerancing, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), blocks and attributes, external references, piping and welding drawings, and working drawing set creation. The course includes an introduction to 3D solid modeling, including part, assembly, and drawing creation using parametric 3D modelling software.
