DEPCO's in-depth Inventor Interactive Learning Unit, based on software by Autodesk®, instructs your students on how to use the world's best-selling 3D mechanical design software in the industry. After learning the tools and functions of the software with DEPCO's interactive learning unit, your students will be able to assemble visual components, create an animation of an assembly, as well as understand how this software is used in industry.

Students will explore manufacturing in this technology learning unit that demonstrates the CNC process and the proper way to machine a raw material into a CO2 car finished product. Students begin by receiving an overview of CNC and Mastercam software. Students learn to use Solids to design their CO2 car, just as an engineer would in industry. Next, the wooden CO2 cars are designed by using the helpful tips from DEPCO's comprehensive curriculum workbook. Finally, students manufacture the cars using a CNC wood router, a great new addition to any technology, manufacturing, or pre-engineering lab.

DEPCO's Business and Marketing Program covers many advanced topics such as accounting, marketing, entrepreneurialism, finance, and business graphics, while incorporating the National Standards for Business Education. This Business and Marketing Program touches on numerous business career areas, giving students valuable knowledge and hands-on experiences.
