DRAF 145

Description:

This course is an introduction to parametric design. The course will cover parametric modeling fundamentals, solid geometry concepts, parametric constraints fundamentals and geometric construction tools. Basic software commands will also be covered to give the student ability to demonstrate parametric modeling knowledge. 2 hrs. lecture/wk.

Associated Costs: These are additional (out-of-pocket) expense considerations that students should expect in addition to the course tuition, fees, and textbooks. $10.
