Engineering
Drafting & Design I - Course Narrative:
It is the intent that Engineering Drafting and Design
I be offered to students who are genuinely interested in a career as an
engineer, engineering technician, machine draftsperson or related technical
career. A student must have reached
the tenth (10) grade and be capable of aggressive level 1 work. A strong mathematics, science and computer background is
highly recommended but not required.
Engineering Drafting and Design I is an engineering graphics course that
was patterned after the engineering graphics course taught in most college
engineering programs of study. The
course follows closely the text Engineering Drafting and Design by Jensen
and Helsel and is supplemented by current industrial techniques, problem solving
exercises, presentation and group skills, and the development of critical
thinking skills.
