It provides basic knowledge and drawing skills in the area of technical drafting for students interested in pursuing modem design and drafting entry-level positions in engineering and architectural firms. This course is required for the Certificate of Accomplishment in Computer Aided Drafting - CAD, the Certificate of Accomplishment in Computer Aided Design - Architecture, and the Associate in Science for Mechanical Engineering Technology(MET).

STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Create freehand sketches including technical lettering and line work.
• Compose front, top, profile, and sectioned views of three dimensional objects using orthographic projection.
• Create freehand sketches of isometric and oblique pictorials.
• Measure scaled lengths on technical drawings with the use of architectural and mechanical engineering scales.
• Synthesize simple dimensions into orthographic drawings.
