  DFTG 1405.  Technical Drafting.                 4:3:3

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. Prerequisite: Credit in DFTG 1409 or concurrent enrollment in DFTG 1409; and THEA reading requirement met or concurrent enrollment in READ 0307.

  DFTG 1409.  Basic Computer-Aided Drafting.                          4:3:3

An introduction to basic 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, coordinating systems, and plot/print to scale.  Prerequisite: THEA reading requirement met or  READ 0307.

  DFTG 1417.  Architectural Drafting, Residential.                      4:3:3

Architectural drafting procedures, practices, and symbols, including preparation of detailed working drawings for residential structure with emphasis on light frame construction methods.  Prerequisite:  DFTG 1409 and DFTG 1410, or concurrent enrollment.

  DFTG 1410. Specialized Basic Computer Aided Drafting. (CAD) 4:3:3

A supplemental course to Basic Computer Aided Drafting using an alternative computer-aided drafting (CAD) software to create detail and working drawings. Prerequisites:  THEA reading requirement met or READ 0307.  DFTG 1405 is recommended.
