CE411 2D-Drafting with AutoCAD-Level 2 7 sessions | Tue & Thurs, October 6–27, 6:30–9:30pm | $690 | 21 CEUs | 21 LUs ONLINE LIVE (SYNCHRONOUS)
This course is specifically designed for those who have a working knowledge of basic AutoCAD 2D drafting using the Microsoft operating system. Build on the fundamentals of AutoCAD through hands-on exercises that explore the creation of 2D construction drawings using more advanced drawing production and management commands such as edit, annotate, block, layer, style, properties, and hatch. Work with drawing collaboration techniques such as publishing and plotting. Students are encouraged to bring a flash drive for saving their work throughout the course. As a prerequisite, working knowledge of the basics of 2D Drafting with AutoCAD or have completed CE410. INSTRUCTOR: Dincer Savaskan
CE417 Basic V-Ray for 3ds Max & SketchUp 7 sessions | Wed, October 7–November 18, 6–9pm | $690 | 21 CEUs | 21 LUs ONLINE LIVE (SYNCHRONOUS)
Create compelling visual representations with V-Ray, a popular third party commercial rendering plug-in for 3D computer graphics software applications. It is used in media, entertainment, and design industries such as film and video game production, industrial design, product design, architecture and interior design. Learn how to take a single 3ds Max and SketchUp scene with interior elements and add lights, move cameras, and enhance objects by adding translucent and reflective surface qualities. Leverage each of the V-Ray tools, materials, and lighting types to achieve specific effects that will take your renderings to the next level. Students will use NYSID computers (Windows operating system) but are encouraged to save the work on their own portable drives. Prerequisite: Working knowledge of 3ds Max and SketchUp INSTRUCTOR: Leyla Aghayeva
CE427 Technical Drawing I: Linking the Hand to the Mind 3 sessions | Tue, September 29–October 13, 6:30–9:30pm | $425 | 9 CEUs | 9 LUs ONLINE LIVE (SYNCHRONOUS)
Words are good descriptors and Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) represents a revolutionary drafting tool, but drawing is the creative link between the imagination and the realization of an idea. Today, technical drawing takes on a different purpose—the connection with spatial visualization and the ability to transfer that visualization between paper and computer. Through structured hand drafting exercises intended to develop spatial visualization skills, students employ technical drawing techniques such as orthographic projection, isometric drawing, hidden views, sectional views, line types, line weights, and scale to depict abstract forms and objects. To some degree, CAD has made hand drawing obsolete but only those with an understanding of geometry and spatial skills can make the best use of CAD systems. Students are required to have the following supplies: 11"x17" unlined drawing vellum, drawing pencils (HB, H or F weight), 12" roll of tracing paper, eraser, 12" architect's scale ruler, 8" 30-degree / 60-degree triangle, 6" 45-degree triangle, 6" protractor, drafting tape or dots, and pencil sharpener (not electric). As a prerequisite, working knowledge of Intermediate level AutoCAD and or has completed CE411. INSTRUCTOR: Joseph Marino
