Course Descriptions for Drafting Technology

DT-23Technical Drawing Fundamentals
CSU(3.00 units LL)Grade Only
A study of technical graphics techniques for engineers and drafters with an emphasis on computer aided design applications, visualization, the design process, design documentation, and technical sketching.

DT-24CAD Graphics
CSU(0.50 units LL)Grade Only
A comprehensive overview of Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) for non-drafting majors. The course focuses on the application of commercial grade CAD software to develop 2-D and 3-D vector graphics, hard copy and digital output, and drawing productivity techniques.

DT-25Computer Aided Design and Drafting
CSU and UC(4.00 units LL)Grade Only
An intermediate level study of Computer-Aided Design and Drafting.Students will expand their ability to use CAD software to create, modify, and plot 2D architectural, mechanical, and civil design drawings with consideration for productivity and industry standard practices.
Prerequisite: ENGR-23 or DT-23

DT-31Civil Design Drafting Fundamentals
CSU(3.00 units LL)Grade Only
A study of civil design drafting with a focus on the preparation of drawings used in the civil engineering industry.Students will develop proficiency in the application of civil design CAD software to draft designs per industry standards.
Prerequisite: ENGR-23 or DT-23

DT-32Civil Design Drafting
CSU(3.00 units LL)Grade Only
An intermediate level study of civil design drafting with a focus on the preparation of drawings used in the civil engineering industry. Students will develop proficiency in the application of civil design CAD software to draft designs relating to land use, hydrology, utilities, and transportation.
Prerequisite: DT-31

DT-503D CAD Applications
CSU(4.00 units LL)Grade Only
An intermediate level study of 3D modeling and presentation methods used in the design and drafting industry. Students will study the creation and application of wireframe, surface, solid, and parametric CAD models as well as design visualization techniques and rapid prototyping processes.
Prerequisite: ENGR-23 or DT-23

DT-62Mechanical Design Drafting Fundamentals
CSU(3.00 units LL)Grade Only
A study of mechanical drafting with a focus on the development of 3D feature-based parametric models and technical drawings. Students will develop proficiency in the application of mechanical CAD software to draft designs per industry standards.
Prerequisite: ENGR-23 or DT-23

DT-63Mechanical Design Drafting
CSU(3.00 units LL)Grade Only
A study of mechanical drafting with a focus on the development of 3D feature-based parametric part and assembly models. Students will develop proficiency in the application of mechanical CAD software to draft multi-part designs per industry standards. Additional topics include threads and fasteners, weldments, sheet metal, and tolerancing.
Prerequisite: DT-62

DT-71Architectural Drafting Fundamentals
CSU(3.00 units LL)Grade Only
A study of architectural drafting with an emphasis on the creation of a building information model. Students will develop proficiency in the application of architectural CAD software to develop common architectural plans.
Prerequisite: ENGR-23 or DT-23

DT-73Architectural Drafting - Residential Design
CSU(3.00 units LL)Grade Only
A study of architectural drafting with an emphasis on the creation of a building information model and the resulting residential architectural plans. Students will develop complete plan sets with consideration for aesthetics, methods of construction, building codes, and common industry practices.
Prerequisite: DT-71

DT-80Modeling and Animation
CSU(4.00 units LL)Grade Only
A study of 3D computer modeling, animation, and visualization. Students will use commercial grade software to create 3D content with consideration for design, color, texture, light, and output requirements.
Prerequisite: DT-24 or ENGR-23 or DT-23

DT-813-D Character Modeling and Animation
CSU(3.00 units LEC/LAB)CR/NC option
The course content begins at a level that requires students to have a general background in digital modeling, rendering, and animation techniques using a professional-level software program.The software is quite sophisticated and character modeling is generally considered a specialty application beyond general digital modeling and animation.
Prerequisite: DT-80
Recommended Prep:DM-24A
