Develop a comprehensive CAD model for a real-world construction project, applying core CAD principles and drafting skills. Use a structured process to research, conceptualize, and design the model, ensuring it aligns with the building's systems and project goals. Your final deliverables will showcase your understanding of CAD drafting, technical analysis, and efficient design practices. Put together a detailed presentation highlighting your project process, the software tools you used, and your portfolio of completed work.
Deliverables:
- Design and Develop a CAD Project: You will apply your understanding of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) by creating a fully integrated CAD model for a real-world construction project, demonstrating proficiency in design, drafting, and execution.
- Utilize Industry Software: Throughout the project, you will use industry-standard software such as AutoCAD and Revit to model, visualize, and analyze building systems, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in your design.
- Receive Personalized Feedback: Work on your capstone both in and outside of class, taking advantage of scheduled mentoring sessions to discuss your progress, address challenges, and receive feedback from your instructor.
- Present Your Project: You will document your process, from initial design to the final CAD model, and present your project in a professional portfolio. The presentation will highlight your technical expertise, problem-solving abilities, and understanding of CAD drafting practices.
