Course
Description:
An
emphasis will be placed on techniques of computer aided drafting and design,
construction of straight and curved lines; orthographic and axonometric views
and sections; dimensions, tolerances, and notes; as well as an introduction to
the nomenclature associated with CAD.
Basic computer operations involving move, copy, delete, and save are
included, and the student will be exposed to drawing manipulation involving
translation, rotation, zooming, panning, and windowing.

General Education
Competencies:
In
addition to the specific course competencies listed above, students are expected
to have, and continue to develop the following general education
competencies:
1.
Writing: to communicate effectively
using standard written English

in writing over the reading assignments.
3.
Integrated
Learning:
Students will utilize the knowledge they acquire throughout this course to make
connections between the various disciplines of drafting by applying certain
skills such as analysis, discussion, interpretation, and problem
solving.
4.
Creative
Thinking:
