Engineering Drawing & Design - II

In a field that requires highly developed visualization skills, the second training of a two part series continues to reduces the learning curve of engineering drawing and design by bridging the gap between theoretical and applied learning. Studentss use the knowledge gained in part 1 to learn dimensioning skills and auxillary and section views. Topics then transition to Computer-aided Manufacturing (CAD) and applied new technologies to move a design from the initial sketch to the manufacturing stage. This information includes rapid prototyping, part animation, and final manufacturing of a part in the assembly.

Training for anyone entering or working in the Engineering Drawing and Desgin field.
