COURSE NUMBER AND TITLE: DT 111 Technical Drafting II with AutoCAD

UNIT VALUE: 3

MINIMUM NUMBER OF SEMESTER HOURS: 96

BASIC SKILLS REQUIREMENTS:

Appropriate language and computational skills.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS

PREREQUISITE: DT 110, DT 125/RDT 125

COREQUISITE: None.

RECOMMENDED PREPARATION: None.

SCOPE OF COURSE:
The study of Advanced Drafting practices using AutoCAD software. Basic studies will lead into pictorial
drafting, advanced dimensioning, and tolerancing, descriptive geometry, revolutions, and an introduction to
geometric dimensioning tolerancing. Working/shop drawings in topography, developments,
cabinet/millwork, structural steel, and welding will be performed.

SPECIFIC COURSE OBJECTIVES:

The successful student will:

1. evaluate and apply multi-view projection, sectional and auxiliary views and apply them to isometric
projection and three dimensional solid modeling.

2. analyze and apply descriptive geometry and revolutions to technical drawing applications.

3. identify methods of manufacture.

4. analyze and employ symbols and techniques of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.

5. compare and contrast manufacture/design in working/shop drawings in topography, developments,

cabinet millwork, structural steel, and welding drafting.
