Computer Assisted Technical Drawing
Prerequisite(s): Concurrent Enrollment in Computer Assisted Architectural Drawing (28408)
This is a beginning level mechanical drawing class which introduces the skills required to communicate effectively through the use of graphic language. Students use three methods of graphic representation:freehand sketching, mechanical drafting, and computer-assisted drawing. The course content includes career opportunities in the field of technical drawing, freehand sketching, lettering techniques, line types, geometric constructions, multi-view drawings, dimensioning, sectional views, auxiliary views, and computer assisted design. This course is especially recommended for future engineers, architects, or home builders, including students involved in the construction trades.
- College Credit: This course may be dual-enrolled at Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA) as EGR 115 or CAD 140for a total of 3 credits at NOVA. The NOVA entrance requirements must be met before registering. The content of this course is taught at the college level. Please consult with your counselor for more details.
