A.

DESCRIPTION
This course involves a careful examination of drafting as a tool of
technical communication and for solving graphical problems.
Emphases are on development of basic drafting skills, visualization,
and solution of spatial problems. It is an exploratory, first course in
drafting designed primarily for students planning to enroll in the
regular-program Drafting Technology courses upon completion of this
course. However, it also meets the needs of many students with other
interests, as a refresher course in drafting, a course for upgrading
drafting skills, a course for IED students training to be public school
industrial arts teachers, or a course that provides students with a
general "feel" for the subject of drafting.


The course -- what it is and how it fits into a program or supports other courses, needs, etc.
Throughout this syllabus there are things students will not read the first day, but they
probably will read it later, or they will use it later for reference.
B. ORGANIZATION
This is a lecture-lab course in which topics are presented by the
instructor, practice drawings are explained, and assigned drawings
are completed by students both during lab periods and outside of
class. Objective and drawing-type quizzes are given daily, and there is
a comprehensive final exam. The course is a prerequisite for the
beginning regular-program drafting courses. DRAFT 19 students
generally have had neither high school or other drafting training, nor
experience in drafting employment. So when students in this course
proceed to the regular-program drafting courses, if they do, they will
be at approximately the same level of expertise as those who have
had previous training or experience and who are permitted to waive
DRAFT 19. This basic drafting course therefore assumes no previous
drafting experience or training, so the initial emphases are on the use
of equipment and basic procedures.


This could probably be worked into "purpose." But here John states very briefly "how" the
course will be conducted and very roughly what will be involved.
C. COURSE OBJECTIVES
1. To introduce students to the use of mechanical drafting tools, to
drafting procedures, and to acceptable standards of work in the
industry.
2. To introduce students to various forms of graphical representation
and to selection of representations appropriate to specific
needs.
3. To introduce students to time and quality drafting production
requirements.
4. To orient students to the range of drafting methods, topics, and
occupations that characterize the field.
5. To provide students with opportunities to develop basic drafting
skills in respect to sheet composition, working neatly and
accurately, lettering, and line drawing.


Five or six general, overall objectives of the course. These might be stated in the form of
behavioral or performance objectives, but John has reserved that format for class and
activity objectives that are more specific, differentiated, and quantifiable.

1. Equipment and Basic Drafting Procedures
2. Lettering; Symbols
