Beginning CAD students are learning how to use AutoCAD. They will do basic CAD exercises and worksheets to help become familiar with the workspace. Following some basic architectural and mechanical exercises students will work on their own house plan and produce a set of working drawings. Advanced students are  working on floor plans and elevations in 3D.  Students will submit their architectural drawings in the Fort Hays State University Technology Fair in April 2013.
