Course Syllabus 2012-2013
Program Name: Drafting and Design Technology
Course Title:
Intermediate Drafting Design
Instructor:
Mark Wellander
Prerequisite:
Intro to Drafting Design
Course Description:
Intermediate Drafting Design is a one-credit course designed to further the development of
students’ knowledge regarding the use of drafting design practices and procedures. Students
expand their ability to illustrate more complex objects using the Computer-Aided Drafting
(CAD) system. Topics include sectioning, auxiliary views, threads and fasteners, pictorials, and
the continuation of conventional dimensioning practices. Upon successful completion of the
course students are able to develop section views, primary auxiliary views, thread
representations and pictorial views, and apply dimensions properly on a drawing. Leadership
activities, cocurricular opportunities, and employability skills are emphasized in appropriate
career and technical education organization affiliations.
Instructional Philosophy:
Students will be expected to meet all course goals listed below, and demonstrate their
understanding of the underlying concepts. The instruction will be heavily field/laboratory and
application based, with a minimum of lecture and classroom work. The course requires
extensive laboratory practices and demonstrations. Students will work independently as well as
in teams to complete several projects that enable them to learn how to work independently to
plan, construct, and trouble-shoot a variety of assignments. The community will be involved in
evaluating, planning, and implementing the technical program and projects, by means of the
Technical Advisory Committee.
Students will be evaluated on classroom participation, exams, projects, and assignments.
Students are required to pass all safety exams that is administered with a 100% mastery.
Program Goals
The goal of the Technical Education curriculum is to provide students access to a flexible system
of rigorous school- and work-based learning planned collaboratively by students, parents,
educators, and employers. This system will result in graduates having preparation for advanced
study or employment. The course of study is designed to provide content that is studentcentered, allowing career pathways that include academic and Career/Technical Education
courses specifically directed to students’ key interests and required skills. Upon graduation,
students are prepared for postsecondary education, apprenticeship programs, employment; as
well as individual, family, employer, and community success.

3. Show ribs, webs, fasteners, and similar features in section.
4. Rotate selected features into the cutting plane.
5. Describe and use conventional breaks and symbols.
6. Prepare a drawing with sectional views using both board drafting techniques and CAD.
7. Demonstrate the proper use of sectional view concepts.

13. Identify and describe various types of fasteners.
14. Define common screw-thread terms.
15. Specify threads and fasteners on a technical drawing
16. Draw detailed, schematic, and simplified thread representations.
17. Name and describe common thread series.
18. Describe and specify classes of thread fits.
19. Draw various types of thread fasteners using board drafting and CAD techniques.
20. List various uses of pictorial drawings.
21. Select and draw the most practical type of pictorial for a specific purpose.
22. Create isometric drawings with the isometric axes in normal and reversed positions.
23. Explain the basic differences in the three types of axonometric projection.
24. Apply measurements, notes, and symbols to a technical drawing.
25. Use ANSI and ISO standards for dimensions and notes.
26. Differentiate between size dimensions and location dimensions.
27. Specify geometric tolerances using symbols and notes.
28. Designate appropriate surface finishes.
29. Use board drafting techniques to add dimensions, notes, and geometric tolerances to a
technical drawing.
30. Use a CAD system to add dimensions, notes, and tolerances to a technical drawing.

Grading Scale
A= 100-90
B= 89-80
C= 79-70
D= 69-60
F= 59-below
Evaluation:
Students will be evaluated based on the quality, promptness and correctness of materials listed
in the requirements. Attention will be given to practical applications of the course materials to
student situations. Approximately 90% of the final grade will be determined by objective
criteria, such as, tests, projects, class assignments, and portfolios. Other consideration will be
given to outside assignments and subjective evaluations such as attendance, interest,
participation, etc.
