1. How are computer-drafting skills used to produce an architectural drawing?
2. How is an architectural drawing produced using acceptable practices and building codes?
3. What is required to draw a single-line (sketch) house floor plan?
4. How are windows and doors selected for a particular house plan?
5. What is required to draw a double-line (finished) house floor plan?

Introduction to CAD for Architectural drawings.
Introduction to drawing floor plans.
Design of a student-selected floor plan.
Development of window and door schedule.
Development of a foundation plan, based on the student's floor plan.



Students in Architectural CAD will develp the ability to:
-- Use the computer to produce an architectural drawing,
-- Use reference books to follow a professionally-drawn plan,
-- Use reference books and Internet to aid in the design of a student-designed plan,
-- Use reference books to produce a window and door schedule per manufacture's specs,
-- Use reference books to produce a foundation plan based on accepted building codes.




All students will:
--Use computer-aided drafting to produce an industry-standard architectural drawing,
-- Understand and be able to read an industry-standard architectural drawing,
-- Read and apply industry-standard reference books.
