01 · Drafting
Mechanical drawing
Dimensions, views, scales, drawing standards, and AutoCAD 2D. The goal is a drawing another person can read.
The training
From a blank page to a piping model they can explain.
Young people and adults practice mechanical drafting, piping, and AutoCAD Plant 3D on real drawing problems. Anyone under 18 needs a parent or guardian’s written permission. The size of each group follows the seats, the supervision, and the safety of the room.
02 · Piping
The parts of a line
Pipe, fittings, flanges, valves, and how to read a P&ID before anyone models a single elbow.
03 · Plant 3D
A model with rules
Project setup, equipment, piping specs, and isometric drawings in AutoCAD Plant 3D. Software licenses are confirmed before class.
04 · Capstone
A portfolio piece
A small piping system and the drawings that explain it. Useful for later school, an apprenticeship, or an entry-level drafting conversation.
Who teaches
A volunteer instructor
Francisco Felix teaches the pilot without pay, from more than 16 years of industrial piping design. The class is instruction, not a private consulting session.
The room
Hosted by Lagoinha Church
Lagoinha Church opened its classroom for these workshops. That gift of space is the reason the class has a home. Thank you, Lagoinha Church.
