Drafting and Design – 1A Course Overview This one-semester course is intended as a practical, hands-on guide to help you understand the various techniques, standards, and tools used in drafting and design. This course has 14 lessons and 5 Course Activities. Each lesson contains one or more Lesson Activities. The lessons cover the following topics: The first two lessons discuss the history of drawing and design and introduce you to the fundamentals of design. The next two lessons are about various drafting tools and drawing reproduction methods. The next six lessons discuss the various standards, symbols, and techniques used in drafting and design. The next four lessons discuss computer-aided design and drafting, and describe constructions of various geometric shapes. You will submit the Course Activity documents to your teacher, and you will grade your work in the Lesson Activities by comparing them with sample responses. Each lesson also has a multiple-choice mastery test. A multiple-choice end-of-semester test completes the course. The Course Activities (submitted to the teacher) and the Lesson Activities (self-checked) are major components of this course. They will guide your learning as you work through this course.
Course Goals This course will help you meet the following goals: Understand the fundamentals of design. Identify various architectural lines and their uses in drafting. Familiarize yourself with architectural lettering and freehand sketching. Understand the various standards, symbols, and conventions used in drafting. Explore the various tools and options available in computer-aided design software programs. Learn to create various geometric shapes and understand the development and intersection of solids.
