Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:

Students will develop the ability to express a three-dimensional space in two dimensions (planes) and the ability to mentally picture a three-dimensional space based on a two-dimensional expression of a space. They will also learn the basic operations of 2D CAD.

Style:

Lessons will include exercises that are in line with the class content to help them understand graphic science. Students will learn how to operate CAD by drawing plan, elevation, and cross-section views.

Notice:

Students must work on exercise problems during class without being absent, and work on the exercise assignments by themselves in accordance with their progress. Students will be expected to try as much as possible to understand and learn the course content during class and work on the exercise assignments.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for a passing grade.
