Class Description
In Computer Aided Drafting we learn about Mechanical Drawing as well Computer Aided Design. In the first semester of the class we use mechanical drawing equipment like t squares, scales, and Triangles to create drawings. Then for the second semester we get to use the computer program auto cad and Inventor. We also learned the alphabet of lines and different types of drawings.

This class gave me life long skills that I can use in trades, engineering, manufacturing and many more careers because through this class even if I don't have to draw a drawing I know how to read and analyse them in order to create it. This class also help me develop attention to detail, computer skills, and communications skills. I gain attention of details from hand drawing because every line had to be perfect and sharp. I gained computer skills from typing and using the computer platforms. Finally I gain communication skills not from talking but by drawing because if you don't show a part or a demention you aren't fully communicating the object to the fabricator. I truly enjoyed this class because as long as you got your work done there was no homework as well as it is laid back. However the hand drawing were a pain I do highly recommend this class to anybody who wants to go into any kind of construction, manufacturing, or engineering field.
