Course Descriptions

DFTG1305 TECHNICAL DRAFTING

Introduction to the principles of drafting to include terminology and fundamentals, including size and shape descriptions, projection methods, geometric construction, sections, auxiliary views, and reproduction processes.

DFTG1309 BASIC COMPUTER-AIDED DRAFTING

An introduction to computer-aided drafting. Emphasis is placed on setup; creating and modifying geometry; storing and retrieving predefined shapes; placing, rotating, and scaling objects, adding text and dimensions, using layers, coordinate systems, and plot/print to scale.

DFTG1317 ARCHITECTURAL DRAFTING/RESIDENTIAL

Architectural drafting procedures, practices, and symbols, including preparation of detailed working drawings for residential structure with emphasis on light frame construction methods.

DFTG1333 MECHANICAL DRAFTING

Detail drawings with proper dimensioning and tolerances, use of sectioning techniques, pictorial drawings, including bill of materials.

DFTG1358 ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONIC DRAFTING

A study of the principles of layout of electrical and electronic drawings, stressing modern representation used for block diagrams, schematic diagrams, logic diagrams, wiring/assembly drawings, printed circuit board layouts, motor control diagrams, power distribution diagrams, and electrical one-line diagrams.

DFTG1391 SPECIAL TOPICS IN DRAFTING

Topics address recently identified current events, skills, knowledge, and/or attitudes and behaviors pertinent to the technology or occupation and relevant to the professional development of the student. This course was designed to be repeated multiple times to improve student proficiency.

DFTG2300 INTERMEDIATE ARCHITECTURAL DRAFTING—RESIDENTIAL

A continuation of principles and practices used in residential construction.

DFTG2302 MACHINE DRAFTING

Production of detail and assembly drawings of machines, threads, cams, tolerances and limit dimensioning, surface finishes, and precision drawings.

DFTG2306 MACHINE DESIGN

Theory and practice of design. Projects in problem-solving, including press fit, bolted and welded joints, and transmission components.

DFTG2317 DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY

Examination of the graphical solution to problems involving points, lines, and planes in space.

DFTG2319 INTERMEDIATE COMPUTER-AIDED DRAFTING

A continuation of practices and techniques used in basic computer-aided drafting emphasizing advanced dimensioning techniques, the development and use of protype drawings, construction of pictorial drawings, interfacing 2D and/or 3D environments and extracting data.

DFTG2323 PIPE DRAFTING

A study of pipe fittings, symbols, specifications and their applications to a piping process system. Creation of symbols and their usage in flow diagrams, plans, elevations, and isometrics.
