Credits: 3
Hours/Week: Lecture NoneLab None
Course Description: Students will use CREO Elements/Pro (formerly Pro/Engineer-Wildfire) software by Parametric Technology Corporation. Activities include sketching, creating, editing, and dimensioning of 3D solid models. From these models, students will create 2D drawings and make assemblies. 2D & 3D printing are also covered. The class uses a hands-on approach in order to build a foundation for continued training or self-instruction.
