Students will leam to use the software, AutoCAD, as a drafting and design tool. They will leam how to create a virtual workspace, to draft in that workspace and how to use this tool to communicate their designs. Concepts covered will include: drafting, layers, text, objects, and modifying properties, and inserting raster images. They will also leam how to plot and email their work, in order to share it with other sources. (Students are required to have access to a personal computer to which they can download the free software. Laptop computers are preferable, but not required.
