Constructional Drawing through Computer Aided Design

General

Course Contents

The course introduces students to AutoCAD software in order to provide them with the knowledge
and skill to digitally design 2D representations of buildings, working through scales of 1/100 to 1/50.
Students learn thoroughly Drawing and Modify commands, along with Annotations, Dimensioning
and Insertion options, achieving accuracy with Drafting Settings and supporting all architectural
drafting conventions. Drawings are plotted in scales, organised in layouts and sheets to be published.
Students also learn to organize project files, templates and exchang

Educational Goals

Upon completing this course students should be able create 2D digital drawings of buildings (plans,
sections, elevations) as well as masterplans of their surrounding area. Drawings are to be complete
with constructional information for the scale of 1:50. They should be able to organize layouts, sheet
drawings, plot and publish them respectively, exchange files and share information through .dwg
files, keep up with software updates and finally establish a background for engaging with similar CAD
systems.

General Skills
