COURSE SYLLABUS 1. TITLE OF COURSE: COMPUTER AIDED DRAFTING I PREFIX/NUMBER: CAD 101 CREDIT HOURS: 3.0 2. PREREQUISITE: ENT 131, or instructor approval 3. RESOURCES NEEDED: TEXT: AutoCAD 2004, A Problem-Solving Approach, by Tickoo and The Illustrated AutoCAD 2004 Quick Reference, by Grabowski (optional) SUPPLIES: 3-1/2” floppy HD disk, paper, and pencils 4. COURSE DESCRIPTION: Focuses on basic computer aided drafting skills using the latest release of CAD software. Includes file management, Cartesian coordinate system, drawing set-ups, drawing aids, layer usage, drawing geometric shapes, editing objects, array, text applications, basic dimensioning, and Help access. 5. COURSE GOAL: To provide the student with a basic understanding and experience using AUTOCAD software. 6. COURSE OBJECTIVES: A. The student will learn how to sign on to AutoCAD, and make environment changes. B. Students will create AutoCAD text, print their drawings on printers and save their drawings on floppy disks. C. The student will learn to use basic AutoCAD Drawing commands and complete drawings using these commands (LINE, CIRCLE, ARC, PLINE, POLYGON, DONUT and ELLIPSE). D. The student will learn to use AutoCAD Modify commands and make changes to drawings using these commands (BREAK, FILLET, COPY, OFFSET, EXTEND, TRIM, and MOVE). E. The student will complete drawings using techniques associated with dimensioning commands. F. The student will create drawings using LAYER techniques to manage parts of the drawing. G. Students will use WBLOCK, INSERT, EXPLODE, prototype drawings, and plotting. 7. EVALUATION PROCEDURES: Grades are based on the following schedule: 4 Quizzes @ 100 points each 400 2 Worksheets @ 100 points each 200 16 Drawings @ 100 points each 1600 Attendance/student attitude 200 Final Exam Points 600 Total points 3000 Raw Score Range Letter Grade 100 - 94 A 93-87 B 86-76 C 75-70 D 69-0 F System Design Test 20% Special Remarks: 1. Students are expected to do their own work in all drafting classes. Plagiarism, copying, or presenting others work as one's own is considered cheating, will result in a zero for that assignment, and could lead to a students dismissal from class. Because texts have changed so rapidly, your text may be different than the one prescribed above. 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. 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: 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. 10. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: The very nature of higher education requires that students adhere to accepted standards of academic integrity. Therefore, Pueblo Community College has adopted a policy of academic conduct as described in the Student Handbook. Violation of academic integrity may be defined to include the following: cheating, plagiarism, falsification and fabrication, abuse of academic materials, complicity in academic dishonesty, and personal misrepresentation. It is the student’s responsibility to be aware of the behaviors that constitute academic dishonesty. Sanctions for violating the standards of academic integrity may include warning, probation, suspension, and/or failure of the course or assignment at the discretion of the instructor. 11. ADA NOTICE: Students who have a documented disability may be eligible to receive accommodations for this class. Please contact the Disability Resources Center at 549-3446 for further information.
