Course Description
Intro to Drafting and Design (CADD I)
1 Credit
Elective
Grade Level: 10, 11, 12
90 minute course every other day
People with careers in design and pre-construction create our future. Their plans guide
manufacturing professionals as they continue the building process. Students are introduced to
the tools and methods used by a skilled draftsperson and engineers. Students will learn the
basics of Mechanical Drafting through traditional hand drafting and more modern Computer Aided
Drafting. Lessons will focus on the basics of Orthographic Projection and Isometric Design.

6. No COMPUTER GAMES EVER. This computer lab is used during this hour strictly
for AutoCAD and not the Internet. If you are completely done with your work and
have a homework assignment that needs to be done with the NET then it may be
allowed if you ask. This is an educational computer lab not a game room at any
time. If I catch you playing games on the computers during class time, you will
receive one hour of detention. If a second offence occurs, 3 hours of detention will
be given. If a third offense occurs, computer privileges may be revoked and a
separate set of lessons will be given using hand drafting skills.
