10 courses with the subject ARC, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
Surveys building materials and characteristics used in the construction industry. The course also covers various construction techniques, principles and cost estimating.
Covers the basic principles of written contracts and their format. Topics include specifications, language, techniques, bidding and contract responsibilities. Study of building codes and building applications for various types of structures.
Provides a practical approach as it relates to current common architectural drafting standard practices. The principle objectives are basic understanding of orthographic projection, size description and notation. National and local building codes are introduced.
Provides students with more advanced drafting techniques and competencies by applying information about building components to draw detailed sets of architectural construction drawings and improve perception and awareness of problems related to design and building code requirements. Prerequisite(s): ARC 105
Study includes linear measurements with tape; differential leveling and vertical control measurements; vertical angles with transit; closed traverse work utilizing bearing, azimuth and deflection methods; use of coordinate systems, computation of areas; stadia and topographic surveying. Benchmark and profile leveling for computation and data for application of cut and fill requirements in road or development construction will also be covered. Prerequisite(s): MTH 104
DESIGN INTERNSHIP 1-12-3 Students will obtain experience in the architectural drafting and design field through a combination of occupational instruction and on-the-job training. This course integrates classroom occupational study with a planned supervised practical work experience. Prerequisite(s): Permission of Instructor.
The study of architectural drawing, detailing and illustration through the assimilation of computer software. (Most current version of AutoCAD will be used.)
A continuation of ARC 210. This course teaches advanced drawing and editing commands that may be used to create 2D architectural drawings. Ordinate dimensions, drawing/plotting scales, symbols/block usage, attributes, references and paper space applications are covered. (Most current versions of AutoCAD and 3D parametric modeling software will be used.) Prerequisite(s): ARC 210 161 westmoreland.edu
Students will develop and deliver a presentation on a specific project approved by their instructor. Coordination of previous skills on independent projects utilizing manual drafting and computer graphics software for model building and design. (Most current versions of AutoCAD will be used.) Prerequisite(s): ARC 210
AND ELECTROMECHANICAL DRAFTING 2-4-4 AutoCAD application course that will include piping, structural detailing, electromechanical details and working drawings. The student will experience more complicated problems in this course, and will coordinate previous skills for the graphical solutions. (Most current version of AutoCAD will be used.) Prerequisite(s): ARC 210 or DFT 258
