This course is an introduction to the techniques of mechanical drawing for three-dimensional spatial relationships, spatial visualization, sketching and graphical presentation. Engineering drawing, descriptive geometry and graphical solution techniques using both manual and computer methods will be emphasized. Lab fee required.

The purpose of this course is to help drafting students develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes required to work at an entry-level job in such positions as CAD technician trainee, CAD system operator or CAD technician. This course is designed for students who have already received in-depth training in one or more application areas. Lab fee required.

In this course students will learn advanced two- and three-dimensional drafting techniques. Menu and program modification will be emphasized along with improved speed and accuracy. Lab fee required.

This course is the study of the drawing and design techniques related to the production of electrical buildings (CAD and Revit software to be implemented). Emphasis will be given to the development of correct drafting/design skills associated with the electrical system drawings required for a building project (schematic drawings, floor plans, elevations, building sections, details, sections, legends, notes and special purpose drawings required for a complete set of electrical contract documents). Students will be able to produce a variety of electrical drawings which detail the electrical components while working under the direction of an engineer, architect or specialty electrical contractor or supplier. This is a continuation of Engineering Graphics - Drawing. Lab fee required.

This course is a three-dimensional CAD course which introduces the student to Autodesk Revit Software. The student learns to work with architectural computer models rather than the basic geometric drawing approach. The Revit platform for building information modeling is a complete design and documentation solution which supports all phases of design, drawing production and schedule development for a given project. This software allows the student to work in various views of the parametric building model at the same time.

This course is a study of the drawing and design techniques related to the production of mechanical (HVAC), electrical and plumbing drawings. CAD and Revit software may be implemented in the production of these drawings. Lab fee required.

This course is a study of the drawing and design techniques related to the production of plumbing and fire sprinkler drawings for commercial buildings (CAD and Revit software to be implemented). Emphasis will be given to the development of correct drafting/design skills associated with the plumbing and fire sprinkler system drawings required for building a project (schematic drawings, floor plans, elevations, building sections, details, sections, layout, assembly, legends, notes and special purpose drawings required for a complete set of plumbing or fire sprinkler contract documents). Students will be able to produce a variety of plumbing and fire sprinkler drawings which detail the piping components while working under the direction of an engineer, architect, or specialty contractor or supplier. This is a continuation of Engineering Graphics - Drawing. Lab fee required.

In this course topics of current interest are presented in group instruction. This is a project-based class. Project is selected by the student and approved by the instructor. Lab fee required.
