    2 credits Offered Fall Semester CADT-245 will address artistic issues of land development with discussion and evaluation of competing theories in feature placement. The artistic license of the designer will be explored within the limitations of state and local ordinances and requirements, such as road type and location, lot size and shape, and building site orientation and layout. Historical models will be compared with contemporary models. Lecture: 3 hours per week Pre- or Corequisite: CADT-241 and/or instructor permission
  • 4.00 Credits

    4 credits Offered Spring Semester CADT-247 is a continuation of CADT-241. A natural progression will be made to vertical design. This course will cover road profiles, cross sections, and cut and fill design. Vertical design for piping sewer, irrigation, and water lines will also be covered. Students will make volume calculations and be able to discuss the effect vertical design has on horizontal layout. Lecture: 4 hours per week Prerequisite: CADT-241 and ENGR-214 with a minimum grade of C- and/or instructor permission
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 credits Offered Spring Semester CADT-249 is an introduction to the creation and use of a geographic information system database. Industry standard software will be utilized. Facilities management and cartography, as well as the influence of global positioning systems and the Internet will be covered. Lecture: 3 hours per week Prerequisite: ENGR-214 with a minimum grade of C- and/or instructor permission
  • 4.00 Credits

    4 credits Offered Fall Semester CADT-251 presents the elements and principles involved in conventional design and analysis of mechanical components, assemblies, and drawings. Course emphasis will be in fundamental mechanical design principles through feature-based parametric modeling software for the creation of parts, assemblies, and developing working drawings. Students will also apply design and evaluation methodology towards Form, Fit, and Functional requirements through rapid prototyping application as well as interact, to some degree, with the NIC Machine Technology program. The design portion of this course as intended to dovetail with the design portion of CADT-257. Lecture: 4 hours per week Prerequisite: CADT-109 with a minimum grade of C- and/or instructor permission
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 credits Offered Fall Semester CADT-253 introduces the product cycle theory in regards to Machine Control Processes via CAD/CAM/CAE methodology. CADT-253 is an exploratory/hands-on learning environment and will be engaged in visiting local industries to gain understanding of Machine Control Processes and their role in the product cycle process. Students will be introduced to rapid-prototyping and produce rapid-prototype parts. Students will also learn about 3-D geometry/database exchange theory for CNC applications through the cooperation of the NIC Machine Technology Program. These are just some activities and assignments the student will be engaged in. Lecture: 3 hours per week Pre and Corequisite: CADT-251 or instructor permission
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 credits Offered Fall Semester CADT-255 builds on the knowledge learned in CADT-109. This course focuses on geometric dimensioning and tolerancing principles as they relate to mechanical design. Topics include symbols, annotation, theory, and applications. Students will learn to interpret and apply industry standards to drawings. Lecture: 3 hours per week Prerequisite: CADT-109 with a minimum grade of C- or instructor permission
  • 4.00 Credits

    4 credits Offered Spring Semester CADT-257 places further emphasis on learning feature-based parametric software for the creation of parts, assemblies, and drawings while gaining further knowledge in computer aided design technology. The primary focus of the course will be in combination of using parametric software towards design intent. Students will continue to produce actual parts through the cooperation of the NIC Machine Technology Program and will be expected to choose a final project of which they will design, develop, produce working drawings, and present to the class for their final grade. This final project will be at the students own expense. Lecture: 4 hours per week Prerequisite: CADT-251 and CADT-255 with a minimum grade of C- and/or instructor permission
  • 2.00 Credits

    2 credits Offered Spring Semester CADT-259 is an introduction to kinematic analysis of mechanical mechanisms and the transmission of power. Using selected CAD programs, students will gain understanding of linkages, gears, cams, belts, and chain systems. Lecture: 2 hours per week Prerequisite: MATH-024 with a minimum grade of C- or instructor permission Pre and Corequisite: CADT-251, CADT-257, MATH-143, and MATH-143D or higher
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 credits Offered Spring Semester CADT-261 introduces the basics of statics and strengths of materials without calculus. Students will study stress and strength factors of rigid bodies toward practical mechanical design problems. A good understanding of algebra and trig, along with a knowledge of Microsoft Excel and CAD systems, are recommended to solve a variety of problems. Lecture: 3 hours per week Prerequisite: MATH-143 and MATH-143D or higher, MATH-024 or higher, or instructor permission
  • 1.00 Credits

    1 credit Offered Upon Demand This course will cover the use of the Internet including information about the World Wide Web, connecting to and researching on the Internet, using e-mail, exploring blogs, exploring copyright issues, and privacy and security concerns. This course is intended to provide the students with the ability to become comfortable with using the Internet for personal and business reasons. This is a hands-on class using real world personal and business websites and is a valuable course for those who want to gain a beginning knowledge of current Internet technology. Prior completion of other courses is not required.
