Required textbook: AutoCAD 2008 A Problem-Solving Approach by Sham Tickoo

Required software: AutoCAD 2008

The textbook and software are available as a bundle in the bookstore. The version of the software bundled with the book has a one-year limit. If you have access to AutoCAD 2008, you may also buy just the book. The bookstore also carries a separate AutoCAD 2008 Student Version perpetual License, which allows you to continue to use the software for as long as you are a student.

Because you must be able to run AutoCAD, the minimum hardware and software requirements are higher than for most other internet courses. They are:

• 512 MB RAM

  Due to the highly technical nature of the course material, this course tends to be more difficult for many students than the same course taken in a classroom environment. If you have any reservations about your ability to learn technical concepts without the interaction offered in the classroom setting, you should consider registering for one of the non-internet sections of this course.

Please contact the instructor by email before class starts if you have any questions about the course.
