COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

The students will:

1.  Show proper use of drafting tools by producing drafting projects.

2.  Demonstrate the ability to produce consistent linework on

   drafting exercises.

3.  Show ability to produce legible lettering in drafting projects.

4.  Illustrate how to execute geometric construction in assigned drafting

   exercises.

5.  Execute freehand drafting in assigned drafting projects.

6.  Show understanding of orthographic projections and isometric drawings

   in completing drafting projects.

Topics and Scope

1.  Introduction and use of tools, beginning linework.

     A. Use of tools, how to make a print, drawing procedure, and

        vocabulary of reproducible linework.

2.  Linework and lettering.

     A. Reproducible linework continures, letter forms, practice

        lettering.

3.  Lettering and geometric construction.

     A. Lettering continues, how to use compass, basic geometric

        drafting techniques (dividing lines, constructing triangles,

        hexagons, octagons).

4.  Geometric construction.

     A. More complex geometric construction such as tangents, and

        constructing forms by figuring out missing data.

5.  Freehand drawing.

     A. How to do drafting without using tools, basic level.

6.  Orthographic projections.

     A. Introduction to the principles of orthographic projection,

        freehand three-view drawings, and practice converting isometrics

        to three-view.

7.  Orthographic projections and isometric drawing.

     A. Orthographic projections from incomplete data based on principles

        learned earlier and instrument orthographic projections.

        Introduction to isometrics.

8.  Isometric drawing.

     A. Drawing isometrics using instruments.

Assignments:

1.  Each unit of instruction will have assignments to be completed

   by the student during the lab portion of the class and outside

   the class.

2.  These assignments have been designed to develop basic manual drafting

   skills.

Methods of Evaluation/Basis of Grade.

Writing: Assessment tools that demonstrate writing skill and/or require students to select, organize and explain ideas in writing.		Writing 0 - 0%
None
This is a degree applicable course but assessment tools based on writing are not included because problem solving assessments and skill demonstrations are more appropriate for this course.
Problem solving: Assessment tools, other than exams, that demonstrate competence in computational or non-computational problem solving skills.		Problem Solving 0 - 0%
None
Skill Demonstrations: All skill-based and physical demonstrations used for assessment purposes including skill performance exams.		Skill Demonstrations 40 - 60%
Class performances, Performance exams, DRAFTING ASSIGNMENTS
Exams: All forms of formal testing, other than skill performance exams.		Exams 10 - 30%
Multiple choice, True/false, Matching items, Completion
Other: Includes any assessment tools that do not logically fit into the above categories.		Other Category 5 - 10%
