appropriate assessment; READ 023 or
appropriate assessment
Transfers to: CSU
This is a basic course in technical
drawing and graphics for students
with no previous drafting skills or
training. The course is designed
for students who wish to pursue
training in fields and careers related
to architecture, civil and engineering
design drafting. Practical application
will be provided with the tools,
techniques, standards, and practices

Sketching
Advisory: ENGL 030 or ESL 197 or
appropriate assessment; READ 022 or
appropriate assessment
Transfers to: CSU
This course is designed to develop
skill in freehand drawing as used
by the design professionals in both
architectural and technical applications.
Using pen, pencil, marker, basic
principles of proportion, composition
and freehand techniques, students will
prepare technical sketches to industry
standards, in isometric, oblique,
perspective and orthographic. Design
considerations will also be introduced
for various projects involving
preliminary design sketches. This
course is open to all students who wish
to develop freehand drawing skills.
It is required for all students working
towards a degree or certificate in the
Architecture and Engineering Design
Drafting program.
