DFT101

Fundamentals of Drafting: This course encompasses all of the foundation skills required to produce drawings that convey necessary and specific information to the reader. The material covered in this course will provide the basis for instruction needed by all drafting students to understand the "language of industry" - industrial drafting or graphics.

DFT102

Basic AutoCAD: This course offers complete instruction in the mastering of fundamental AutoCAD commands and drawing techniques. Typical applications of AutoCAD are presented with basic drafting and design concepts. The topics are covered in an easy-to-understand sequence and progress in a way that will allow you to become comfortable with the commands as your knowledge builds.

DFT103

Advanced AutoCAD: This course provides complete instruction in the mastering of AutoCAD 3D modeling commands, Internet access using AutoCAD, and various customizing techniques.

DFT104

Autodesk Revit: This course will explain the concepts and principles of Autodesk Revit Building through practical examples, tutorials, and exercises. This enables users to harness the power of Autodesk Revit Building for their specific use. The course is organized in a pedagogical sequence covering the Basic Building Components, Site Features, Massing, Annotations, Schedules, Cost Estimation, Rendering, and Walkthroughs. Each module begins with a command section that provides a detailed explanation of the commands and tools in Autodesk Revit Building. The command section is followed by tutorials that have been created using these commands. As the students completes each module, they will work on tutorials and exercises that will be used to build a complete project.

DFT105

Autodesk Inventor: Learning Inventor IO is a course designed with the student as well as the engineering professional in mind. The student will find it is presented in a manner designed to facilitate learning using practical examples and clear instructions. The intention of this course is to recreate the actual work flow experienced by professionals as they use the software. By completion of this course, the student will have a keen understanding of the methods used to produce a viable solid model part or assembly in Inventor. It is the opal of Learning Inventor IO to present a process-based approach to the Inventor Professional IO tools, options, and techniques.

DFT201

Design I: This course is an introductory study of Technical Illustration, Civil Drafting, Process Pipe Drafting, Electronics Drafting, and Architecture. These industry specific disciplines represent the most sought after skill sets by prospective employers. Students will explore the basic requirements and industry drafting standards for each area.
