Course Description
In this course, students are introduced to the concepts and commands of parametric solid modeling. Students create and add relationships to sketches; extrude the sketches to create models; and add features such as fillets, cuts, chamfers, holes, drafts, shells, lofts, and sweeps. In addition, students extract two-dimensional (2D) documentation from the three-dimensional (3D) models, and add details to the drawings.
Additional Materials
None

Students in Need of Accommodations Due to a Disability
We value all individuals and provide an inclusive environment that fosters equity and student success. The College is committed to providing reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. Students are encouraged to schedule an appointment with the campus Disabilities Support Counselor to request an accommodation needed due to a disability. The College's policy on accommodations for persons with disabilities can be found in the College's Guide to Requesting Academic Accommodations and/or Auxiliary Aids Students may also access the Guide and contact information for Disabilities Support Counselors through the Student Resources web page under Disabilities Support Services, or visit the campus Advising Center.
