DFTG 1317. Architectural Drafting—Residential. (3-2-4)
Prerequisite: DFTG 1309 and DFTG 1305
Architectural drafting procedures, practices, and symbols, including preparation of detailed working
drawings for residential structure with emphasis on light frame construction methods. The student will
demonstrate a general understanding of architectural terms, symbols, use of residential construction
materials and processes and knowledge of reference materials. The student will demonstrate the ability to
produce a set of residential construction drawings to include: site plan, elevations, wall sections, schedules,
details and foundation plan. Lab fee.
DFTG 1333. Mechanical Drafting. (3-2-4)
Study of mechanical drawings using dimensioning and tolerances, sectioning techniques, orthographic
projection and pictorial drawings. Lab fee.
DFTG 1345. Parametric Modeling and Design. (3-2-4)
Prerequisites: DFTG 1309 and DFTG 1405
A course utilizing parametric-based design software for 3-D design and drafting. The student will use
parametric modeling techniques to create rendered assemblies, orthographic drawings, auxiliary views and
details from 3-dimensional models. Lab fee.
DFTG 1358. Electronic Drafting. (3-2-3)
Prerequisite: DFTG 1309 and DFTG 1305
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. Lab
fee.
DFTG 1391. Special Topics in Drafting. (3-2-4)
Prerequisite: DFTG 1309 or approval of instructor.
Topics address recently identified current event, skills, knowledge, and/or attitudes and behaviors pertinent
to the technology of occupation and relevant to the professional development of the student. Learning
outcomes/objectives are determined by local occupational need and business and industry trends. Lab fee.
DFTG 1457. Specialized Intermediate Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD). (4-3-2)
A continuation of practices and techniques used in Specialized Basic Computer-Aided Drafting. Emphasizes
advanced dimensioning techniques, the development and use of prototype drawings, construction of
pictorial drawings, interfacing 2-D and/or 3-D environments and extracting data. Lab fee.
DFTG 2321. Topographical Drafting (3-2-4)
Prerequisite: DFTG 1309 and DFTG 1305
A course in map drafting. Emphasis is given to plotting of surveyors of field notes, plotting elevations,
contour drawings, plan and profiles and laying out traverses. The student will demonstrate an
understanding of the transit, level, level rod, tape and associated surveying equipment and be able to
identify and use topographical symbols. The student will demonstrate the proper use of math skills
including trigonometry functions and exhibit the ability to produce topographical drawings. Lab fee.
DFTG 2323. Pipe Drafting. (3-3-3)
Prerequisite: DFTG 1309 and DFTG 1305
A study of pipe fittings, symbols, specifications and their applications to a piping process system. This
application will be demonstrating through the creation of symbols and their usage in flow diagrams, plans,
elevations and isometrics. The student will demonstrate knowledge of intermediate math skills;
foundations, structural steel supports and process equipment; Instrument Society of America (ISA)
symbology; and researching specifications. The student will complete a bill of material list and use charts
and standards; visualize views in 3-D; solve intermediate math problems; draw manually or by computer,
follow specifications; and calculate measurements for screwed, socket weld and butt-weld piping using
trigonometric applications. Lab fee.
