Philosophy: My goal is to create an exciting and safe learning environment where students feel comfortable taking risks as they explore the world Computer Aided Design.

CAD 1:  

0.5 Units
Grades 9-12
In the  first semester of CAD, students explore the fundamentals of parametric design (3D modeling) using Autodesk Inventor.  The course begins slowly with the design of simple shapes, gradually moving through increasingly complex designs using a wide variety of modeling tools.  By the end of the semester, students are combining individually created parts into fully functional assemblies.  

CAD 2:  

0.5 Units
Grades 9-12


The second semester of CAD focuses around creating working mechanisms including the variety of tools available for testing and updating mechanisms, as well as the various "design accelerators," used to speed up the design process.  We also cover topic in sheet metal design, technical drawing and documentation, as well as image and animation rendering.  

CAD 3:  

0.5 Units
Grades 10-12

Students begin their third semester of CAD by work on designs for several different model steam engines.  These are rather complicated designs that require the incorporation  of all of the knowledge and skills  gained in the previous two semesters and push their problem solving skills to the next level.  Students will then work on review and study materials in preparation for taking the Autodesk Inventor Certified User Exam.  Once complete, the remainder of the semester is spent working on original design projects.   

Advanced Seminar: 
0.5 Units
Grades 10-12


This course is designed as an independent study.  Students who have completed the first three semesters and wish to further explore topics in CAD can apply for this course.  Students must outline a plan of study for this semester, indicating their intentions, goals, and resources they will utilize.  In addition to using Autodesk Inventor, students have the opportunity to explore other Autodesk software options including Autocad, Civil 3D, Revit, Maya, 3DS Max, Mudbox and more.
