COURSE OUTLINE

 

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

            Architectural Design II class is designed to provide students with the knowledge and understanding of architectural graphic standards with the use of computer software programs such as AutoCAD, Revit, and Inventor. This course will help students learn the skills and concepts necessary for planning, drawing, designing, and developing architectural projects.

Its mission is to teach students how to prepare architectural drawings that will effectively and accurately communicate design ideas to clients, contractors, and manufacturing personnel. Students will use problem solving techniques to produce basic and complex drawings that reflect an understanding of architectural working drawings. Students will complete all projects with the use of CAD, BIM software, and traditional board drafting.
