94 Santa Rosa Junior College AP TECH 55 Basic Drafting Skills (Formerly Industrial Education 55) 1.5 units/2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory for 8 weeks Introduction to basic manual drafting skills. Teaches the student how to use drafting tools, the development of line work and lettering skills, procedures for executing geometric construction, techniques of free-hand drafting and fundamentals of orthographic projections and isometric drawing. (CSU/UC) May be taken for a total of 3 units. AP TECH 56 Introduction to Computer Aided Drafting (Formerly Industrial Education 56) 2 units/2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory for 8 weeks. Prerequisite: Applied Technology 55 with a grade of C or better or equivalent Introduction to computers as a graphics tool by exploring the hardware, software and their applications to drafting. Software used is AutoCAD on IBM compatible computers. (CSU) May be taken for a total of 4 units. AP TECH 57 Advanced AutoCAD 3 units/2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory. Prerequisite: Applied Technology 56 with a grade of C or better or equivalent Computer-aided drafting using the autocad software program. Areas included: Advanced layout and construction techniques, advanced dimensioning and tolerancing practices, isometric and 3D construction, customization with an overview of basic DOS commands and project-oriented architectural, civil and mechanical engineering applications. (CSU) AP TECH 66 Computer-Aided Design for Engineers (Formerly Engineering 56) 2 units/16 total hours lecture, 24 total hours laboratory, 24 total hours by arrangement for 8 weeks. Not open to students who have completed Engineering 25. Prerequisite: Applied Technology 55 or high school drafting Computer-aided design and drafting (CAD) as a tool for creating engineering three dimensional models and for generating engineering drawing hardcopy. Students use up to date versions of CADKEY software to produce three dimensional databases on IBM compatible computer work stations. Hands-on use in a lab environment develops proficiency in the concepts and specifics of CAD software packages. Course focuses on computers as a design tool rather than a drafting aid. (CSU) May be taken for a total of 4 units. AP TECH 87 3D Modeling and Rendering Using CAD 2 units/2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory, 3 hours by arrangement for 8 weeks. Prerequisite: Applied Technology 57 with a grade of "C" or better or equivalent A review of 3D Modeling skills covered in Applied Tech 57 "Advanced AutoCAD", and a comprehensive study in AutoCAD's Render Program. The student will construct, view, and render computer generated 3D models. Rendering concepts; lighting sources and angles, reflectivity, surface designation and defining "SCENES" will be covered. Model "WALK THROUGH" and "FLY AROUND" slide shows will be created. (CSU) AP TECH 88 Customizing AutoCAD 2 units/2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory, 3 hours by arrangement for 8 weeks. Prerequisite: Applied Technology 57 with a grade of "C" or better or equivalent Customization of the AutoCAD Software Program. Topics include: an overview of the AutoCAD menu file, customization of screen, Pop-down, tablet, and icon menus, creation of macro commands, command aliases, dialogue boxes, and an introduction to the AutoLISP Programming Language. (CSU) AP TECH 89 AutoLISP Programming for CAD 2 units/2 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory. Prerequisite: Applied Technology 57 with a grade of "C" or better or equivalent Utilization of the AutoLISP programming language to enhance productivity of the computer-aided drafter. The student will be provided with the principles and applications of AutoLISP which will result in a flexible degree of control over the customizable aspects of the AutoCAD Software Program.
