These are the courses I usually teach.

IND 1001 - Technical Drafting
Fundamentals of technical drafting including: lettering, sketching, instrument and CAD techniques, views and orthographic projection, pictorial drawing, dimensions, sections, and working drawings. Selected assignments from this course will be appropriate for inclusion in student portfolios. Lecture two hours, laboratory four hours. (COMPUTER)

IND 3801 - 3D & Solid Modeling
An in-depth study and application of 3D and solid modeling CADD (computer-aided design and drafting). Focus is on visualization, use and selection of software, and technical illustration techniques for creating rendered images. Units include: 3D free form design, structured design, reverse engineering modeling, and the use of photography and other media in CADD . Lecture two hours, laboratory two hours. Prerequisite: IND 1001 or permission of the instructor. (COMPUTER)

IND 4401 - Animation and Multimedia
Students in this course will have the opportunity to conduct an in-depth exploration of CADD systems for the development of animations and the creation of multimedia presentations. Units will include: uses of animation as related to design, time lines, animation rendering techniques, output methods, and user interactivity. Sample work will be organized and displayed as a digital portfolio. Lecture two hours, laboratory two hours. Prerequisites: IND 3801 and GRA 3102.

TEC 5509 - Competency Development
Individual study and research in the technologies and rationale for procedures used in industry. Emphasis placed on new technologies. Projects will be based upon the technical competencies as determined by the individual concentration areas. A written proposal for the study must be approved by the supervising faculty member and graduate advisor. The student’s study is to include a project with a written report as well as an oral presentation. Course may be repeated once barring duplication.
