ARCHITECTURAL CAD DRAFTING
WHAT WILL ARCHITECTURAL STUDENTS IN THE A&E CAD PROGRAM LEARN? Graduating students who complete the AAS requirements in Architectural CAD will be able to: Operate AEC (Architecture/Engineering/Construction) software including computer aided drafting (CAD), building information modeling (BIM), and 3D modeling applications Demonstrate knowledge of building systems and familiarity with building codes Differentiate between various architectural drawing types and determine their appropriate uses in architectural projects
ARCHITECTURE utilizes Design Tools in the Design and Construction of Buildings including: Sketches, Computer-generated Drawings, and Models
-Students trained in this field can expect to create these when working in the industry
ARCHITECTURAL DRAFTING is:
USING ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN TOOLS TO COMMUNICATE BUILDING DESIGN IDEAS
ARCHITECTURAL DRAFTING is‌
MANUAL DRAFTING using paper sketches or technical drawings to show two dimensional representations of aesthetic intent as well as space and room layouts
ARCHITECTURAL DRAFTING is‌
COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN (CAD) using technical drawings to show accurate wall and opening dimensions, heights of building elements and structural layouts
ARCHITECTURAL DRAFTING is‌
BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING (BIM) using a 3D digital model to show building systems including architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical objects
ARCHITECTURAL DRAFTING is‌
3-D MODELING & RENDERING using 3D graphic software to show interior and exterior building representations including material colors and textures

BUT I WANT TO DESIGN! In order to WALK, we must all CRAWL. In the mechanical specialization, you will learn from SCRATCH: • How to draw parts to be manufactured • What types of materials should/can be used • How stresses can make parts fail • How to make parts on programmable machines • How to ensure that parts assemble every time • Learn 3 3-D modeling software’s and one manufacturing software used in Austin and around the world
Drawing parts to be manufactured
Drafters ensure that the part is fully described so that it can be made as durable and cost effective as possible.
What material should be used for what part?
Designers select materials with the function, cost, and production methods in mind.
What stresses make parts fail?
Designers select materials which can take the stress intended in the design.
How can I make the parts on a programmable lathe or mill?
Designers learn how the parts must be made. This yields designers that know how to design parts that must be machined.
How do I ensure that parts fit and work in the assembly every time?
Designers learn how the parts interface. The largest and smallest a part can be will affect the final assembly result. Designers must design parts to optimize the assembly at both ends of the spectrum.
What 3-D software will I learn?
Designers learn at least 4 software groups to help them in design. Most engineers are proficient in only one or two!
Upon completion of the Mechanical AAS, students will have experience in the following design functions: • Plastic part design • Sheet metal part design • Weldment design and analysis • Proficiency in drawing standard rules per the American Society of Mechanical Engineers
• Machine part design • Writing code for computer-aided manufacturing on a mill or lathe • Proper use of measurement tools for inspecting parts
