DFTG 1309 Basic Computer-Aided Drafting (3) This is a WECM Course Number. Prerequisite: None. An introduction to computer-aided drafting. Emphasis is placed on setup; creating and modifying geometry; storing and retrieving predefined shapes; placing, rotating, and scaling objects, adding text and dimensions, using layers, coordinate systems, and plot/print to scale. This course is cross-listed as DFTG 1409. The student may register for either DFTG 1309 or DFTG 1409, but may receive credit for only one of the two. (2 Lec., 4 Lab. / 2 Lec, 3 Lab.) |
|
DFTG 1394 Special Topics in Electrical/Electronics Drafting and Electrical/Electronics CAD/CADD (3) This is a WECM Course Number. Prerequisite: None. Topics address recently identified current events, skills, knowledge, and/or attitudes and behaviors pertinent to the technology or occupation and relevant to the professional development of the student. This course may be repeated if topics and learning outcomes vary. (2 Lec., 4 Lab.) |
|
DFTG 1405 Technical Drafting (4) This is a WECM Course Number. Prerequisite: None. Introduction to the principles of drafting to include terminology and fundamentals, including size and shape descriptions, projection methods, geometric construction, sections, auxiliary views, and reproduction processes. This course is cross-listed as DFTG 1305. The student may register for either DFTG 1405 or DFTG 1305, but may receive credit for only one of the two. (2 Lec., 4 Lab. / 2 Lec., 6 Lab.) |
|
DFTG 2312 Technical Illustration (3) This is a WECM Course Number. Prerequisite: DFTG 1309 or DFTG 1409. Topics include pictorial drawing including isometrics, obliques, perspectives, charts, and graphs; shading and transfer lettering; and use of different media. (2 Lec., 4 Lab.) |
|
DFTG 2340 Solid Modeling/Design (3) This is a WECM Course Number. Prerequisite: None. A computer-aided modeling course. Development of three-dimensional drawings and models from engineering sketches and orthographic drawings and utilization of three-dimensional models in design work. This course is cross-listed as DFTG 2440. The student may register for either DFTG 2340 or DFTG 2440, but may receive credit for only one of the two. (2 Lec., 4 Lab.) |

Academic Courses
Designated by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board for transfer among community colleges and state public four year colleges and universities as freshman and sophomore general education courses.
WECM Courses
Designated by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board as workforce education (technical) courses offered for credit and CEUs (Continuing Education Units). While these courses are designed to transfer among state community colleges, they are not designed to automatically transfer to public four year colleges and universities.
