Students in this level two course use drafting equipment to produce technical drawings and to solve geometric drafting problems. Course topics include Conventional Drafting Techniques, Computer Aided Design (CAD) Methods, ProDesktop Usage, LandSat Images, schematic drawings, use of scale to produce high quality products, and rapid prototyping. Advanced experiences and instruction will pertain to machine drawing; pattern development; geometric intersections; structural drafting and design; auxiliary views and revolutions; rendered (shaded and colored) pictorial illustrations, schematic diagramming in the areas of electricity, electronics, plumbing, ventilation, and welding; statistical information diagramming; and land feature description (cartography). Computer Aided Design (CAD) programs are introduced and students learn how to project, extrude, revolve, chamfer, render, and export drawing files in other formats.
