III: To Add a New Course Syllabus and assessment information is required (paste syllabus into section
V or attach). Course should have internal coherence and clear focus.
YES
NO
Common Course Numbering Review: Does an equivalent course exist elsewhere
in the MUS? Do the proposed abbreviation, number, title and credits align with
existing course(s)? Please indicate equivalent course/campus 

repeatability (if applicable), frequency of offering, prerequisites, and a brief description.) 
U 156 Computer Aided Design II 3cr. Prereq. CAD 110. CAD II provides a project-based, in-depth study of
the skills and concepts involved in Computer Aided Design and Drafting. Topics covered included object
grouping and sharing; three dimensional modeling; animation; and interoperability with other software. This
course is the second in a two-part series covering the core AutoCAD application.
Justification: How does the course fit with the existing curriculum? Why is it needed?
The Computer Aided Design Certificate of Applied Science was approved in May 2009 by the Board of
Regents. Computer Aided Design II is currently offered as a Special Topics course by the Department of
Applied Computing & Electronics. It has become a requirement for this new program and we seek permission
to add it to the catalog as a permanent offering.
Are there curricular adjustments to accommodate teaching this course?
No
Complete for UG courses. (UG courses should be assigned a 400 number).
Describe graduate increment (Reference guidelines: http://www.umt.edu/facultysenate/Grad/UG.htm)
Fees may be requested only for courses meeting specific conditions determined by the
Board of Regents. Please indicate whether this course will be considered for a fee.
If YES, what is the proposed amount of the fee?
$5.00
YES
X
NO
Justification:
There is a lab component to the course. Students will generate engineering documents using a large format
plotter/printer. The fee is requested to offset consumable supplies needed to create engineering documents.

Course Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, the student will:
 Demonstrate competency in the use of AutoCAD software as a three-dimensional design,
modeling, and presentation tool.
 Produce professional two-dimensional engineering and architectural documents using AutoCAD
software.
 Efficiently apply the advanced features of AutoCAD as a work and time saving tool.

Prepare 2D and 3D models for printing.

Integrate file management, images, and internet utilities with AutoCAD in the production of
engineering documents.
