Course Description

This course is designed to provide basic skills, fundamental skills, and basics skills and methods used in drafting during the first semester. Drafting problems in metric and standard systems are concentrated in the areas of geometric constructions, dimensioning procedures, orthographic projections, isometric drawings, auxiliary views, sections, pattern development, pictorials, assembling drawings and computer aided drafting.

Second Semester will deal with the study and practical applications of architectural drafting. The course covers the study in types of symbols, designs, and materials used in house construction. House blueprints are designed and drawn such as floor plans, elevations, shading, landscaping, and perspectives, etc. Surveying techniques and subdivision design are also included. Housing cost, mortgages, insurance, zoning laws and many other topics are discussed.

Illinois State Goals and Learning Standards which are addressed in this class are:

State Goals, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 13, &15 (see attached page.)

Professionalism, work place skills, and Illinois State Social and Emotional standards are also addressed in this class.
