The Engineering CAD class is intended for students who have an interest in the technical drafting fields. Instruction covers such areas as technical sketching, working drawings, detail drawings, and assembly drawings. Students will plan, design, draw, and construct solutions to a variety of engineering related problems presented to them throughout the school year. Engineering practices relating to product design, prototyping, analyzing and improving new and existing designs are emphasized in the many course activities.
