- DRF 231 - Computer Aided Drafting I
-
Teaches computer aided drafting concepts and equipment designed to develop a general understanding of components and operate a typical CAD system.
Lecture 1-2 hours. Laboratory 2-3 hours. Total 3-5 hours per week.
2-3 credits
- DRF 232 - Computer Aided Drafting II
-
Teaches advanced operation in computer aided drafting.

- DRF 238 - Computer Aided Modeling and Rendering I
-
Focuses on training students in the contemporary techniques of 3D modeling, rendering, and animation on the personal computer. Introduces the principles of visualization, sometimes known as photo-realism, which enables the student to create presentation drawings for both architectural and industrial product design. Uses computer animation to produce walk-throughs that will bring the third dimension to architectural designs. Part I of II.
Lecture 1-2 hours. Laboratory 1-2 hours. Total 2-4 hours per week.
