Description:

This course should be taken by students without prior drafting experience. Upon successful completion of this course, the student should be able to identify and apply the essential, basic skills necessary to proceed through the drafting program, including lettering, measuring, geometric construction, sketching, isometrics, orthographic views, dimensioning and auxiliary view. 1 hr. lecture, 3 hrs. lab/wk. Drafting classes that have additional lab have either the time and room listed or TBA (to be announced) with the room number listed.

Associated Costs: These are additional (out-of-pocket) expense considerations that students should expect in addition to the course tuition, fees, and textbooks. $45 to $60.

Supplies: Refer to the instructor’s course syllabus for details about any supplies that may be required.

Methods of Evaluation of Competencies:

Evaluation of student mastery of course competencies will be accomplished using the following methods:

Lab/Daily Work/Homework 70% of grade
Exams                   30% of grade
                       100% 

Grading Criteria:
      90-100%   = A
      80- 89%   = B
      70- 79%   = C
      60- 69%   = D
      Below 60% = F

Caveats: NONE
