The course will also include relevant field trips, movies, guest speakers, etc. A study of the use of drawing instruments and techniques for mechanical, civil and architectural drawings involving freehand sketches, lettering, orthographic views and pictorial drawings. Skill development will focus on the use of drawing instruments to redraw given drawings calling for accurate measurements with detailed instructions on how to do it. A study on how to prepare complete working drawings of simple building structures, floor plan, front and rear elevations, left and right elevations, transverse and longitudinal sections, cabinet, closet and bar details, plumbing, electrical, site and plot plans including on how to prepare topographic maps. This course will be of value to anyone who plans to enter, or is presently working the field of construction.
Emphasis is placed on neat draftsmanship and the ability to make systematic computations.
This course is designed to provide students and industrial draftsmen with the concepts of intersection and development problems found in modern application. It deals with the analysis and solutions of three-dimensional problems through application of the principles of orthographic or multiview projection. Also deals with the analysis of space relationships that precedes design. Students learn to simplify solution of structural problems and to apply graphical methods in structural geology. This course includes the basic theory of electricity, electrical circuits, diagrams, and controls and their standard drawing symbols.
