3-D Solids and Modeling

Introduces 3-D software to produce 3-D solids and render them as models. Performs operations for creating 3-D objects including extruding, combining, solidifying, wireframes, meshing, and determining mass properties of engineering drawings. Requires realistic rendering of objects in solid forms. Two class hours, two lab hours. Fall only. Prerequisite: EGR119.
