      solve real world surveying problems.
 
ENGTE-225 3-D CAD MODELING 5   This is a study in advanced CAD concepts and
      procedures to develop three-dimensional wireframe
      models. Emphasis will be on the creation and use
      of 3-D primitives, surface modeling, basic solids
      modeling, shading techniques, and the use of
      rendering and animation software.
      Pre-requisite: ENGTE 154 or instructor permission.
 
ENGTE-227 CAD/CAM PROJECT 5   This course will be a "senior" project class
      where the students will work in teams to design
      and build a project. The projects will be based on
      real world problems from local area
      businesses that require assistance in implementing
      solutions to their production problems due to a
      lack of time/ability.  Typically, 1/2 of the
      semester focuses on the CAD design of the project
      with the last 1/2 of the semester focusing on the
      CAM fabrication of that project.
