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. How is a cross-section of the floor elevations drawn?
4. How is the roof design (looking from above) drawn?
5. How are the outside elevations drawn, including windows?



Development of cross-section of floor elevations based on student's floor plans.
Roof design (looking from above).
Outside detailed elevations, inculding windows, doors, etc.





Student in Engineering CAD will develop the ability to:
-- Use the computer to produce an architectural drawing,
-- Use reference books to follow a professionally-drawn plan,
-- The ability to visualize the relationship of floors, walls, ceilings, etc.of buildings,
-- The ability to visualize the building as it would look from the outside.



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.
