Students will be using Autodesk Inventor to learn about engineering drafting in both 2D and 3D environments. Students will create, develop, and test the function of their designs within the engineering software. Students will utilize Chief Architect for the architectural portion of the class in which they will focus on residential floor plan design. Students will learn about traffic flow, the three main areas of a home, proper design of homes, building codes and many other architecture related topics. Finally, in animation students will use Autodesk 3D Studio Max in which they will create animations of their creations they developed in both engineering and architecture.

Architecture, Animation, & Engineering Design T-166

In the T266 course, students will further their knowledge in the three content areas: architecture, engineering, and animation. The first semester will be broken down into 
a series of 6 week sessions, touching base on each of the three content areas. The engineering session focuses on complex assemblies and specialty views. The architecture session focuses on architectural home styles, the reading of plan sets, and framing. The animation session focuses on continuing students’ ability to model, set cameras, and create more detailed short length animations. During second semester students are able to pursue the field of their choice


Architecture, Animation, & Engineering II T-266

Students who want to further their drafting skills and gain additional experience in industrial related computer aided drafting are encouraged to enroll. Individualized 
work in selected areas of industrial drafting is planned with the instructor. This is an opportunity for students to become more self-directed in developing skills in an area of their choice. Course content allows preparation for Autodesk Certification test.
