CAD 215 - Computer Assisted Design Special Topics 4 Credit Hours
This course is designed for students with an interest in the latest state-of-the-art 3D CAD technology for the Architecture, Engineering and Construction industries. Revit application software developed by Autodesk will be the main software package for this course. Revit is the newest and most technologically advanced BIM (Building Information Modeling) application that is being adopted by more and more Architectural and Engineering firms every day. The name “Revit” originates from the terms “Revise Instantly” giving the user a method of developing 3-dimensional plans in a short concise amount of time. Students will become familiar with Revit through instruction, project development and hands on drawing utilizing this Autodesk software.

CAD 221 - Computer Assisted Design III/Arch 4 Credit Hours
Designed for students with an interest in Architectural/Construction Engineering Technology, students will use Autodesk Architectural Desktop software to create an architectural set of drawings. The plans will include floor plans, elevations, building sections, schedules and 3D views of the building. Corrections to drawings that have been redlined will also be covered.

CAD 232 - Computer Assisted Design IV/Manufacturing 4 Credit Hours
Designed for students with an interest in CAD/Manufacturing Engineering Technology, students will work in a team of 2 to 4 students to produce a full set of drawings by using reverse engineering. Students will use various measuring instruments to obtain measurements from a pre-made piece of machinery. The team will use Autodesk Inventor software to create the individual parts; these parts will then make up a complete assembly. When finished a 3D model will be made of the final assembly.

CAD 242 - 3D Design 3 Credit Hours
Designed for students with an interest in CAD/Manufacturing Engineering Technology, students will work in class to produce examples of manufactured parts, and inside industrial scenes. Students will create still presentation rendered drawings that are related to the CAD/Manufacturing. The students will also create a final presentation animation that will include one of the following: a fly-by, a walk through of a building or demonstrating assembling parts together. Materials and lighting applied to objects will be covered in this introductory class. Students will use the AutoDesk 3D Max program along with a video editing program.

CET 110 - Survey I-Fundamentals 4 Credit Hours
Survey I- Fundamentals is an introduction to the science of surveying, involving measurements and the computations of measurements. Error determinations, angles and bearings, traverse adjustments and area computations will be calculated. This course will focus on the hands-on use of the various fundamental surveying instruments (chains, levels, total stations, data collectors etc.), along with their adjustments and accuracy’s through field exercises.

CET 120 - Survey II- Topo 4 Credit Hours
Survey II is a surveying course in traversing and topography. Traverse analysis will be computed on spreadsheets, computed by software, drawn and annotated in CAD. Mapchecks will be performed along with computer generated adjustment files. Topographic maps will be drawn in CAD with topographic data, contouring, alignments and profiles. CAD drawings will be produced using “data controllers” for collecting the data using “feature codes”, “figures and lines” and “description keys” to aid the drawing. Robotic Total Stations, Data Controllers/Collectors and Digital Levels will be introduced to the science of surveying. Students will capstone the course by mapping a portion of the campus using Civil-3D software. Students will produce a “.fbk” file of figures and lines, use digital levels on control points and traverse as described above.
