Course Description
This course covers the intermediate-level application of Creo Parametric that expands the basic knowledge and understanding of solid models and drawings. Special emphasis is given to the creation of parts, assemblies, and drawings which are more complex and technically more difficult than those projects found in the course prerequisite.

Course Justification

This CSU transferable course in a CTE program was developed based on the needs of large scale industries as requested by our advisory board. This intermediate Creo course enables a student to create and document mechanical designs, with special emphasis given to the creation of parts, assemblies, and drawings. This course is included on the Computer-Aided Design-Mechanical Certificate of Achievement.
