Lastly we will be going over the material we will be coving this year
We have a great year ahead of us!

3. Behind every product, building, or process …etc
Behind every product, building, or process are drawings and models created by someone using the techniques and principles taught in a Drafting and Design course .

4. 1
Introduce Yourself Mrs. Wiles background Any drafting in your background?
My name is
I grew up in South Charleston WV
Daughter of a Union Carbide Engineer – explains some of the reason I ended up where I did
I have a Bachelors Degree in Interior Design from WVU….huge WVU fan….any WVU fan automatically gets an A in the class
Most of my career has been in designing and selling kitchens and bathrooms and a Commercial Design
Back in the day when I was in school too many years ago to talk about there was no valid CAD….so I ended up needing to pick up that skill to further my career possibilities
So I took the class I am going to teach you this year…..Taking this class did open doors for me – most engineering firms need people who are skilled in Autocad
Now I turn this to you- do I have anyone with drafting backround here?
In education, nothing works if the students don't.

10. Drafting Orientation/Syllabus What are we gonna work on this year?3
Drafting Orientation/Syllabus What are we gonna work on this year?
Drafting Fundamentals/Techniques/Architectural/Mechanical

11. Drafting will cover such topics as :
Students working with hand drawing tools
Students using AutoCad & Inventor
Drafting will cover such topics as :
Multiview Projection ( drawing various views of machine parts)
3D modeling and Architectural Design and Drafting.
Learning to draft on the computer with Autocad, Inventor, & Revit Architecture.
Increasingly sophisticated technology allows drafters to create more realistic images that almost seem like three-dimensional models, making it easy to imagine the finished structure or object .
I believe 3D modeling is the way of the future and will emphasize and use it thoroughly in class.
