Goals The aim of this course is to enable students to become familiar with the fundamental concepts of computer-aided design and the AutoCAD working environment; to learn 2D drawing, editing, dimensioning, layer management, block creation, isometric drawing, and plotting/printing operations; and to acquire the knowledge, skills, and competencies required to prepare orderly, legible, and application-oriented drawings in accordance with technical drawing principles. The course content covers the AutoCAD interface, file operations, coordinate systems, drawing and editing commands, annotation tools, layers, blocks, measuring tools, isometric drawing, and plotting/printing.
Course Content 1. Explains the AutoCAD interface, basic settings, file operations, and drawing aids. (Comprehension) 2. Creates basic 2D drawings by using absolute, relative, and polar coordinate systems as well as the direct-distance entry method. (Application) 3. Edits and improves technical drawings by using the Draw and Modify commands. (Application) 4. Organizes neat and legible drawings by using layers, properties, text, dimensioning, leaders, tables, and block tools. (Analysis) 5. Produces isometric drawings and prepares them for output with appropriate page settings. (Psychomotor / Application) 6. Demonstrates attention to file organization, technical accuracy, compliance with standards, and careful working habits in drawings. (Affective - Valuing)
