DRAFTING CATALOG COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

60 CADD INTRODUCTION (3) UC: CSU

Lecture: 1 hour; Lab: 4 hours

This is a basic CADD foundation course for students in the AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) field, who will study the relationship between manual drafting, digital drafting and architectural drawing. With "hands-on" learning experience, students will develop mental models to understand the basic principles of CADD: Interfaces, windows, menu bars, tool bars, dialog boxes and basic commands. This course will also cover CADD file management systems, standards for drawings, savings settings and templates.

62 CADD FOR ARCHITECTS (3)

Lecture: 1 hour; Lab: 4 hours

This course combines AutoCAD drafting tools with building objects like walls, windows, doors, etc. Using this new object-oriented approach, building objects related intelligently with one another in a way that was not possible before with the traditional CAD geometry-based approach.

63 CADD FOR BUILDING SYSTEMS (3) UC: CSU

Lecture: 1 hour; Lab: 4 hours

Basic introduction to computer aided design and drafting for the mechanical, plumbing, and electrical drawing sheets that are used in a set of construction drawings. The CAD technology used in this class is Architectural Desktop/Building System software with object technology, team coordination, interactive documentation and annotation tools. Building model examples can be in two-dimensional or three-dimensional space.

64 CADD LABORATORY (3) CSU, RPT4

Lecture: 1 hour; Lab: 4 hours

This course provides assistance to the student to resolve architectural or building systems projects in an environment that uses computer aided design/drafting and Internet Work Spaces technology. Students will be able to complete assignments from other courses and expand his/her technology detail knowledge.
