Transfers to: UC,CSU - UC credit limit. The UC will grant a maximum of 8 units of credit for the following courses: ENGT 150, ENGT 250, and ENGT 270.

This course is an intensive study of 3D computer graphics and computer assisted design and drafting (CADD) utilizing the latest release of 3D software. This course offers an in-depth exploration of manufacturing processes. This course benefits all students in areas of study related to engineering, drafting, design, and computer graphics. Students produce 3D, parametric, computer-generated virtual models incorporating mechanical design refinements. The course emphasizes the technological skills necessary to function as a design professional in order to apply 3D design graphics technology to the specific disciplines of mechanical engineering, machine drafting and design, manufacturing, animation, modeling, and illustration. Students are introduced to a variety of ways to produce prototype models directly from CADD-generated solid geometry. Students also take the Certified SolidWorks Associate (CSWA) industry standard test to check their proficiency, and receive certification upon passing.
