Course Description
Basic methods, principles, and conventions of architectural, three-view, oblique, isometric, and perspective drafting. Creating freehand pictorial presentation drawings.
Course Objectives
1. To teach students to communicate and express ideas graphically in a universal, understandable, efficient, and accurate manner.
2. To develop basic technical drafting skills used in the commercial and industrial sectors.
Instruction
The instructor is employed to provide an atmosphere for learning and is not “the sourse of all information”. He is available, however, to guide you in your work. Ultimately, it is each student’s responsibility to take the initiative to learn. Instruction during the course will consist of assigned readings, demonstrations, lectures, and completing a series of drawings provided by the instructor. During the course students will be required to complete approximately fifty(50) drawings to be graded.
Attendance
You are expected to be in the class/lab at the scheduled time unless previous arrangements have been made with the instructor.

Academic Honesty
The university requires you be advised of the following: In a university course such as this the following statement should be entirely unnecessary. To avoid confusion, however, “every instance of academic dishonesty(cheating and plagiarism)shall be reported to the Dean of the College either by the instructor or by a student in the class where the incident occurs.” Penalties for offenses may range from warning to expulsion.
“Academic Dishonesty” shall be constituted by plagiarism, cheating, and resubmitting work done in another course, and those terms are defined as:
Plagiarism- submitting work done by someone else as that of yours.
Cheating- Violating commonly accepted test taking procedures, such as looking at another students’ paper, bringing “crib” sheets to tests, etc.
