TEDR 0000Drafting and Design Orientation1
Students in the Drafting and Design program will be immersed in a project-based curriculum that may be focused on architectural drafting, mechanical drafting, and/or civil drafting. They will receive one-on-one aid from experienced instructors, review best practices, and focus on industry sta — e architectural documents that align with industry standards. nced technical drawings. ndards. All courses are computer use intensive and competency based. Students w ill develop a strong working knowledge of visual communication and its technical skills. Upon completion, students are prepared for entry-level employment and/or further continuing their education.
The Technical Drafting course is designed to help students develop and build familiarity with fundamental drafting concepts. Discussion concepts will include preparing industry standard documents using a drafting software. 120
The Advanced Technical Drafting course explores Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) to prepare and iterate advanced industry standard documents. Using these documents, students will then create a physical 3D model. 90
The Materials and Methods I course covers the typical materials and construction methods used in residential construction. Students will gain insights into residential construction practices through a blend of practical exercises. 60
The Materials and Methods II course covers the typical materials and construction methods used in commercial construction. Students will gain insights into commercial construction practices through a blend of practical exercises. 60
The Residential Drafting course serves as an introduction to residential design and explores emerging CAD tools to design a code-compliant home. Students will learn about residential materials and methods of construction to prepare construction documents that align with industry standards. 90
TEDR 1110Introduction to Building Information Modeling3.00
