ECAD 2050 - Introduction to Inventor Credits: 3 Hours/Week: Lecture NoneLab 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 1070 or ENGR 1020 or instructor consent. Corequisite(s): None Recommendation: None
