  • Apply basic sketching techniques to create design drawings
  • Annotate and interpret design drawing measurements, standards, and conventions
  • Use techniques and features of AutoCAD to create and edit multi-view drawings of objects

Note: Registrations will be closed one week prior to the start of class
