ECAD 2050 - Introduction to Inventor

Credits: 3
Hours/Week: Lecture None Lab None
Course Description: Students will use Autodesk’s Inventor software to sketch, create, edit, and dimension 3D solid models, as well as create 2D drawings from these models. Assembly modeling and 2D & 3D printing are also covered. These skills are necessary for job qualification in many areas such as mechanical design and engineering. The class uses a hands-on approach in order to build a foundation for continued training or self-instruction.
MnTC Goals
None

Prerequisite(s): ECAD 1020  or ENGR 1020  or instructor consent.
Corequisite(s): None
Recommendation: ECAD 1070  and course placement into MATH 0070  /MATH 1015  or above or completion of MATH 0030  with a grade of C or higher.
