Engineering Drafting and Design 2

E. D. D. 2 COURSE DESCRIPTION

Engineering Drafting and Design II is intended to give students a firm understanding and comfort “maneuvering” through 3-D space. This course encourages students to think and perform tasks in 3 dimensions. The related processes of designing, modeling, and fabricating are evolving due to the power of the 3-D modeling software and innovative manufacturing/prototyping methods. Students in E.D.D II will become comfortable selecting the appropriate software for a design, create a three dimensional models, animate an assembly of parts, and fabricate solutions for complex design problems. The second phase of the course will introduce students to Architectural Drafting. Architectural Drafting is intended to expose students to Architectural concepts and practices involved in the design and construction of a residential building. The student will learn to apply the concepts of accepted drafting and construction techniques while preparing a series of working drawings for a structure. The course will incorporate basic math concepts including computing square footage, slope, stair design, live and dead loads, and cost and weight of a structure. Lot development, Floor plans and elevation views will also be created.
