Catalog Course Description:    
  Expands the knowledge and use of AutoCAD software commands with the continuation of training begun in CID 1100.  The course covers topics involving the creation and manipulation of orthographic and 3 dimensional drawings, introduction of solid modeling, the concept of creation and management of symbol libraries, and rendering the models.  The student will be able to use AutoCAD to enhance their performance in producing various drafting projects, create a three-dimensional model and turn the model into a fully detailed set of working drawings.
Entry Level Standards:    
  Must have collegel level English and math skills.

V. Evaluation:
A. Testing Procedures: 75% of grade
The purpose of this class is to provide more practice with complex drawings. Students will be evaluated on the correctness of assigned drawings, formal tests, and quizzes (75% of total grade).  
B. Laboratory Expectations: 25% of grade
A final set of working drawings of a project that includes 3-D solid model, render drawing, and all orthographic drawings as required to sufficiently describing the part/parts for manufacture or construction (25% of total grade). This project is practice for real world applications and in preparation for the final CIDD project class. 
C. Field Work:
N/A
D. Other Evaluation Methods:

E. Grading Scale:
A     90-100% 
B+   85-89% 
B     80-84% 
C+   75-79% 
C     70-74% 
D     60-69% 
F     59% and below 
VI. Policies:
A. Attendance Policy:
Pellissippi State Technical Community College expects students to attend all scheduled instructional activities.  As a minimum, students in all courses must be present for at least 75 percent of their scheduled class and laboratory meetings in order to receive credit for the course. Individual departments/programs/disciplines, with the approval of the vice president of Academic and Student Affairs, may have requirements that are more stringent.
B. Academic Dishonesty:
It is expected that students will work together to solve problems, however students are expected to do their own work unless specifically assigned otherwise. Sharing or copying others work is un-ethical and will be discounted.  A pattern of un-ethical behavior will result in the student being expelled from the class.  Copying software will be considered theft.
