Fundamental architectural drafting methods taught. Site plans, foundation plans, floor plans, elevations, construction details, lighting and wiring, stair details, floor and roof framing plans, interior elevations drafted, and window and door schedules developed. Prepares students to draft structural steel, precast and poured-in-place concrete, and structural wood projects. Includes engineering drawings and shop drawings. Pre-requisite: ENGTE 154 or Instructor Permission.

ENGTE 225 - 3-D CAD Modeling (5 cr.)

This is a study in advanced CAD concepts and procedures to develop three-dimensional wireframe models. Emphasis will be on the creation and use of 3-D primitives, surface modeling, basic solids modeling, shading techniques, and the use of rendering and animation software. Pre-requisite: ENGTE 154 and Instructor Permission.

ENGTE 227 - CAD/CAM Project (5 cr.)

This course will be a "senior" project class in which the students will work in teams to design and build a project. The projects will be based on "real world" problems from local area businesses that require assistance in implementing solutions to their production problems due to a lack of time/ability. Typically, 1/2 of the semester focuses on the CAD design of the project with the last 1 2 of the semester focusing on the CAM fabrication of that project.

ENGTE 237 - Applied Physics II (3 cr.)

Covers basic engineering principles necessary for draftsperson to communicate on a technical level with designers.
