Students will apply the AutoCAD skills needed to communicate architectural ideas in an efficient and accurate manner. Students will study the basic elements of planning a residence, and combine them to form a set of architectural plans using 2D AutoCAD and 3D Architectural Desktop software. They will also use 3D Studio Max Design to create a virtual three- dimensional animated example of their completed house, and construct a physical scale model of their home using foam board. Students interested in careers in architecture, engineering or manufacturing are encouraged to enroll.
