Instruction includes both mechanical and architectural standards and reproductions. (FA, SP) DDT 102 Technical Drawing 2-2-3 Technical Drawing is a continuation of Engineering Drawing. The student is expected to build on the skills previously acquired and acquire new skills in the areas of working drawings and details. Comprehensive drawings will be assigned that utilize the students’ acquired skills and knowledge of drafting conventions and the operation of CAD. Assignments will be completed on the computer and plotted for grading. This class is primarily a mechanical design class. Prerequisites: DDT 101 and DDT 112. (SP) DDT 110 Blueprint Reading 3-0-3 This course covers how to read blueprints, diagrams, and symbols commonly found in the industrial maintenance setting. Topics include use of measuring tools, shop math review, orthographic projections, auxiliary views, lines, surfaces, and title blocks. Additional topics covered are dimensions and tolerances, sectional views, pictorial drawings and specifications, welding prints, instrumentation and control fluid power diagrams, tables, and symbols used in industrial mechanical maintenance. (SP) DDT 112 Computer-Aided Design I 2-2-3 CAD I is an introductory computerized drafting course using CAD software. Software is used to create, modify, store, and manage drawings and related files. Students will have extensive hands-on instruction using microcomputers, printers, plotters, and CAD software. (FA, SP) DDT 120 Introduction to Geographic Information Systems 2-2-3 This course prepares students with the fundamentals to link database information to map information. Students are introduced to ArcView software for visualizing, manipulating, and displaying map-based data. The student will also understand the characteristics of both Raster and Vector data in developing digital map data. (IN) DDT 211 Computer-Aided Design II 2-2-3 DDT 211 is a continuation of computerized drafting using CAD software. The course includes advanced features of software and an introduction to 3D drawings. Students will have extensive hands-on instruction using microcomputers, printers, plotters, and CAD software. Prerequisite: DDT 112. (SP) DDT 217 Pro/Engineer CAD 2-2-3 This course introduces new users to Pro/ Engineer and to the basic functionality of Pro/E. The student will develop a feel for the design philosophy and methods embedded in Pro/E. Prerequisite: DDT 211 or instructor approval. (FA) DDT 220 Special Projects in Computer-Aided Drafting 2-2-3 This course provides for amplification of skills in computer-aided drafting and the exploration of advanced capabilities of CAD software by students. Prerequisite: DDT 211 or instructor approval. (IN) DDT 221 Computer-Aided Design III 2-2-3 This course is based on the customization of CAD and an introduction to 3D modeling. The student will learn to utilize template drawings, slide shows, Autolisp, Visual Lisp, Diesel, and the customization of menus, toolbars, image tiles, buttons, etc. Instruction also includes modeling, surface modeling, solid modeling, and rendering. Prerequisite: DDT 211 or instructor approval. (FA) DDT 223 Civil Engineering Design 2-2-3 This course is an introduction to civil drafting technology in order to provide the student with theories, concepts, and skills that form the foundation work done by civil engineering companies. Prerequisite: DDT 112 or instructor approval. (FA) DDT 225 Architectural Design I 2-2-3 This course will build on skills acquired in beginning drafting classes. The student will utilize CAD equipment and software in a thorough study of all aspects of residential construction: space requirements, materials and methods of construction, ecotecture, mechanical and electrical, non-conventional construction, building codes, and cost estimating. Prerequisite: DDT 112 or instructor approval. (SP) DDT 226 Architectural Design II 2-2-3 Architectural Design II is a continuation of Architectural Design I. The student will learn residential electrical applications, plumbing, climate control, new products and methods of construction, and perspective and presentation drawings, along with career opportunities in the architectural field. Students will utilize CAD in adding these components to house plans. Prerequisite: DDT 225. (FA) DDT 227 Architectural Design III 2-2-3 This course has been designed to give the student an introduction to essential commands and features of architectural software. The student will gain knowledge and experience with examples and applications of commands for development of both residential and commercial buildings. Prerequisite: DDT 226 or instructor approval. (SP) DDT 228 Structural Drafting and Design 2-2-3 This course is designed to provide students with a basic understanding of the tools, experience and confidence needed to succeed in a structural consulting engineering firm and/or architectural/engineering firm as a structural technician. The students will gain an understanding of proper structural drafting and design techniques involving steel, wood, and concrete. Prerequisites: DDT 112 and MTH 130. (FA) DDT 232 Drafting Design Capstone Project 2-2-3 This course will introduce the theory and practical applications of project management. The student will develop, plan, manage, and present a final project. The student will be required to develop a complete set of professional-quality working drawings in conjunction with the application of project management. A portfolio of the student’s completed work from all other courses will be developed and presented with the final project. Prerequisites: DDT 150, MTH 135, and DDT 229. (SP) DDT 250 Design Concepts 2-2-3 This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of design concepts and processes involved in developing a sound product. The student will participate in solving desing problems following the proper process and documenting their solutions as they develop a product. The student will understand the tools needed to develop an efficient design process regardless of the product being developed. Products will be designed utilizing 3D Models which will then be developed into prototypes. Prerequisites: MTH 130 or MTH 140, DDT 101, and DDT 112.
