Course Description
Advanced Drafting is the third step in understanding the application required to produce a workable drawing. Good sketching techniques should be emphasized when preparing to start a working drawing. Drawings that are assigned should complement the competency and require the student to solve problems, not just copy.

Prerequisite: Design & Drafting Technology
