CADD 125 - Drafting 1

This course is a comprehensive introduction to technical drawing. It is intended to give the student a solid grasp of the basics of technical drawing and Engineering graphics. Course topics include sketching, geometric construction, orthographic projection, auxiliary views, isometric views, section views, dimensioning, tolerances, scaling, perspectives, and working drawings. At the end of this course the student will be able to create a basic working drawing. During the course, many manual-drafting topics will be used to complete a series of drawings. The last three weeks of class students participate in a final project that will produce an architectural drawing which will be used by Delgado Community College City Park Campus and other classes in the CADD department to complete a three dimensions view of the buildings and their interiors for informational and emergency needs.
