Course Description
This module will introduce the students to the 3D Models. After the completion of this course, you will be able to use AutoCAD to create 3D Model, Surface, Mesh, Rendering and so on.
Class Hours :
Prerequisites: Need to be an Engineer/Technologist/Graduate with knowledge of AutoCAD 2D.
Textbook: AutoCAD 2015: for Engineering and Designers (3D and Advanced) by Sham Tickoo and CADCIM Technologies.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of the course, trainees/students will be able to:
- Create 3D models.
- Create Surface.
- Create Mesh Object.
Evaluation: There will be one exam that every trainee/student must pass with 75% or better score to get a certificate of completion from TIET.
Suggested Learning Approach
In this course, you will study individually or within a group of your peers. As you work on the course deliverables, you are encouraged to share ideas with your peers and instructor, work collaboratively on projects and team assignments, raise critical questions, and provide constructive feedback.
