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 the perspective view of a house drawn?
4. What is involved in the inalized presentation/portfolio package?
5. What research is needed to investigate alternative construction techniques?

Development of perspective view of completed building.
Final presentation of a portfolio package of all drawings.
Research paper describing an alternative construction technique.

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,
-- Use reference books to develop a two-point persepective,
-- Develop visualization skills of a completed building,
-- Answer questions related to the design and development of the project,
-- Techniques of researching alternative construction.

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,
-- Students will be able to read and apply industry-standard reference books.
