Students will review the AutoCAD user interface, basic draw, modify and annotation commands including the most common menus and tools. They will have the opportunity to work on a basic residential project using step by step practices that progress through each session where new commands are introduced. Students will be equipped with basic knowledge and skills in preparing simple residential objects, furniture, house floor plans, house elevations, and site plans.

This course is designed for civil engineers/technologists and surveyors who will use Civil 3D to create standardized civil engineering drafting and GIS projects. Participants complete transportation, site, sewer, storm drain and subdivision projects quickly while using the tools to dynamically link and generate updates which reduce costly errors.

In this course students prepare building models and are introduced to all phases of the building process from conceptual design studies to the creation of construction documents and schedules

In this course students expand on the knowledge and skill acquired in "Revit Architecture - Fundamentals". Students prepare more complex 3D designs and create advances construction documents.

The course introduces students to the software's interface and basic HVAC, Electrical and Piping/Plumbing components that make the Revit MEP software powerful and flexible engineering modeling tool. Students become familiar with the tools necessary to create and document a complete parametric model. The practices are designed to take the student through the basics of a real world project, from linking an architectural model to an MEP template to using Revit MEP tools to design HVAC, electrical, plumbing and piping systems to create complete construction documents.

This introductory course takes a comprehensive survey of the fundamentals of graphic design paired with the relevant software and processes involved for print and web publishing. It is designed for those wishing to pursue a career in online and desktop design or publishing.
