  • 3.00 Credits

    3 credits, 5 hours (1-4-0) This course is designed to teach the fundamental concepts of descriptive geometry through an emphasis on logical reasoning, visualization, and practical applications. Topics include orthographic projection, points and lines in space, auxiliary views, plane representation, intersecting and non-intersecting lines, piercing and intersecting planes, plane development, and calculations. Upon completion, students should be able to project and intersect points, lines, and planes, with their relationships in space, as well as develop surfaces of an object for fabrication purposes.
  • 1.00 - 3.00 Credits

    1-3 credits, 5-15 hours Prerequisite: Instructor approval This course is designed for those who are involved in a structured employment situation that is directly related to the field of drafting and design and is coordinated with the drafting instructor. The student must spend as least 5 hours per week per credit hour in an activity planned and coordinated jointly by the instructor and the employer. Upon completion, the student will have gained valuable work experience in a well-planned, coordinated training/work situation.
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 credits, 3 hours (1-2-0) Prerequisite: As required by the program This second course in architectural design and drafting continues with more advanced and detailed architectural plans. Topics include floor construction and detailing foundation, wall and roof construction and detailing; use of standards manuals; perspective drawings; electrical plans; plumbing plans; and building materials, with emphasis on residential and some light commercial application. Upon completion, students should be able to draw and specify advanced-level plans, including various architectural details.
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 credits, 5 hours (1-4-0) Prerequisite: DDT 104, DDT 111, DDT 124 or instructor approval This course covers the theory and practical application needed to understand piping fundamentals as used in refineries and petrochemical plants. Topics include process and mechanical flow diagrams, plant equipment, isometric drawings, instrumentation symbols, pipe symbols, flanges, fittings, and applications of basic math and trigonometry. Upon completion, students should be able to demonstrate pipe drafting techniques and fundamentals in order to prepare working drawings used in refineries and the petrochemical industrial environment.
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 credits, 5 hours (1-4-0) Prerequisite: DDT 104, DDT 111, DDT 124 or instructor approval This course is designed to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to understand the basic components and terminology of pre-cast and poured-in-place concrete structures. Emphasis is placed on pre-cast concrete framing plans, sections, fabrication and connection details, poured-in-place concrete foundations, floor systems, and bills of material. Upon completion, students should be able to construct engineering and shop drawings of concrete beams, column, floor, rood, and wall framing plans using the A.I.S.C. Manual and incorporating safety practices.
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 credits, 5 hours (1-4-0) Prerequisite: DDT 104, DDT 111, DDT 124 or instructor approval This course covers the theory and practical applications necessary to understand the basic design and terminology of structural steel components used in light commercial buildings. Emphasis is placed on structural steel drafting techniques, bolted and welded connections, framing plans, sections, fabrication and connection details, and bills of material.
