Course Description
This course provides an introduction to technical drafting. Topics include the principles and theories of
orthographic and isometric projections, dimensioning, lettering, sectional views and auxiliary views. Block, logic,
schematic and circuit diagrams are covered.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
1. Use mechanical drafting tools to create industry standard lettering for drawings and sketches.
2. Use mechanical drafting tools to create technical drawings and sketches.
3. Use mechanical drafting tools to create drawings using accurate scale ratio reflecting the actual size compared to
the drawn size
4. Use mechanical drafting tools to create technical drawings using orthographic projection.
5. Use mechanical drafting tools to create an isometric projection drawing
6. Use mechanical drafting tools to add industry standard dimensions to various drawings
7. Read and interpret the industrial and architectural drawings including detail drawings, assembly drawings,
elevation drawings, floor plan drawings from upper level drawings to component level, notes and details.
8. Define terms using technical drafting.
9. Create a section view.

INTELLIGENT CREATIVE EXPRESSION
IHS is a high school of arts integration, which means that we are going to incorporate arts throughout the curriculum to make
teaching and learning more meaningful. During this quarter we are going to do at least one arts integration project. Short
writing assignments will be given throughout the quarter and presentation skills will be practiced and evaluated. The purpose
of these assignments is to give you the opportunity to creatively express yourself.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
All drawing materials should be returned to teacher in the same condition as received in the beginning of the class. If an
accident happens, report it right away. If you find a drawing tool in a bad condition, you must report it right away. If you wait
until the end of class to do so, then you will be held responsible for the damage.
