CAD 260 - Intro to Algorithmic Design
Last Date of Approval: Spring 2022
2 Credits
Total Lecture Hours: 15
Total Lab Hours: 30
Total Clinical Hours: 0
Total Work-Based Experience Hours: 0
Course Description:
This course will explore the fundamental concepts of algorithmic modeling. Students will develop 3D models in a visual programming environment and explore design variations through the careful use of parameters and sequences. By working with modeling in this course, students will develop the ability to think algorithmically when approaching design in their workplace. This knowledge can in turn be used to evaluate required steps and sequences for accomplishing tasks in everyday life.
Recommended(s): Computers will be used daily in this course. Students who do not have experience using computers should not attempt this course until having first completed a course in basic computer use.
Prerequisites/Corequisites: None
