COURSE SYLLABUS

1.	TITLE OF COURSE:	Structural Detailing
	PREFIX/NUMBER:	ENT 145	CREDIT HOURS:	3.0
2.	PREREQUISITE:	ENT 131

3.	RESOURCES NEEDED:
	TEXT:	Structural Drafting, by Goetsch, 2^nd Ed., Delmar
	SUPPLIES:	Drawing Kit – same as ENT 131 (or AutoCAD system), Six (8) “C” size sheets – vellum (with or without title block), calculator, Architectural Scale
4.	COURSE DESCRIPTION:
	Shop and detail drawings used in steel and concrete construction. Applications to residential, light commercial, and industrial structures are covered.
5.	COURSE GOAL:
	Students will produce shop and detail drawings used in steel, wood, and concrete construction for both residential and commercial application

6.	COURSE OBJECTIVES:
	A.	Students will produce drawings of structural steel members as used in residential, commercial, and industrial structures.
	B.	Students will produce drawings of structural concrete including foundations, walls, floor systems used in residential, commercial, and industrial structures.
	C.	Students will produce drawings of structural wood members used in floor systems, walls, roofs, beams, and posts.
	D.	Students will study the application of structural connectors.
	E.	Students will study the shop procedures relating to structural drafting.

7.	EVALUATION PROCEDURES:
	The student will be graded on his/her demonstrated skills at producing structural drawings (6-8 drawings). Each drawing will be evaluated on a scale of 100. After your drawings have been turned-in on time and graded, you may re-do/correct your errors and receive up to ½ the points lost on the first grading.
	You will be given homework assignments. These must be turned in on time in order to receive full credit. These assignments may NOT be done over to increase your grade. You will also be given occasional quizzes on homework assignments, drawing assignments, and lecture material.
	Grade break down:
	Drawings	70%
	Homework Assignments	10%
	Quizzes and tests	15%
	Attendance/Attitude	5%
	In order to successfully complete this course, ALL drawing assignments must be completed to a minimum grade of 75%.
	During open lab time, students will have the opportunity to compare notes and discuss drawing projects with other students. Students who submit another’s drawings as his own will receive a 0 grade for that drawing.
	Drawings will be graded on the following criteria:
	20	Accuracy of drawing
	20	Neatness
	20	Lettering/text
	20	Line quality
	20	Following instructions (lecture, text, & meeting due dates)

	Special Remarks:
	Attendance: College policy states that students may be dropped from enrollment when absent 20% of the scheduled class meetings. If enrolled from the beginning of the term, 15 hours will usually constitute 20% of a four-credit semester course which meets five hours per week. Reinstatement procedures are described in the PCC catalog.
	Tardy Policy: A student who is late three times (enters classroom after the instructor has taken roll) will be charged with one full absence unless the student can provide valid reasons for one or more of these tardies.
	Assignments/Missed Exams: It is the student's responsibility, whether present or absent, to obtain all material presented and to complete all course assignments. If prior arrangements are made or extenuating circumstances exist, makeup of tests may be allowed. Late homework papers will not be accepted unless those same extenuating circumstances exist. Makeup of quizzes is to be at the instructor's discretion.

8.	COURSE OUTLINE:
	A.	Overview of Structural Drafting Including linework, scales, paper, boarders, drafting procedures, checking drawings, fabrication, shipping, and ordering materials, and connectors used in structural units.
	B.	Structural Steel Drafting Topics will include structural steel plan drawings, sections, connection details, fabrication details, and bills of materials.
	C.	Structural Concrete Drafting Topics will include plans, sections, connection details, fabrication, foundations, walls and columns, floor systems, stairs, and ramps.
	D.	Structural Wood Drafting Topics will include Floor systems, walls, roofs, posts and beam construction, girders and arches.

9.	METHODS OF INSTRUCTION:
	To be successful in this course, students are expected to participate in discussions, readings, in-class writing, and peer review activities. The instructor may assign point values to such activities.
