Course Description

FrameCAD Studio 2 is a project-based intermediate course that develops design skills to produce a steel panel project using FrameCAD software. Students will be encouraged to design a project of choice and will work collaboratively to design and prepare each project for production. This is a continuation of FrameCAD Studio 1 and FrameCAD Structure and FrameCAD Detailer software will be used to design the projects and export to FrameCAD Factory software for production. ADVISORY: ARCH A121. Transfer Credit: CSU.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Completers will demonstrate intermediate knowledge of steel frame panelization design parameters and manufacturing processes in their project design.
2. Completers will be able to design and produce a project of their own design using FrameCAD software and a FrameCAD maching.
3. Students will practice machine and work area safety procedures in and around the FrameCAD machine and lab work areas.

Course Objectives

• 1. Apply intermediate understanding of steel framing and panelization design parameters and considerations.
• 2. Design and create a complete structure of choice using FrameCAD Structure.
• 3. Transfer a complete structure of choice created in FrameCAD Structure into FrameCAD Detailer and complete the project for production.
• 4. Prepare designed structure for export to FrameCAD Factory software.
• 5. Practice safe work habits around FrameCAD machine and project production areas.
• 6. Fabricate FrameCAD produced components into a complete kit of panels.
• 7. Assemble a complete structure produced using FrameCAD with an impact drill and connector plates.
• 8. Produce complete package of documents and FrameCAD reports into a project portfolio.

Method(s) of Instruction

• Lecture (02)
• DE Live Online Lecture (02S)
• DE Online Lecture (02X)
• Lab (04)
• DE Live Online Lab (04S)
• DE Online Lab (04X)

Instructional Techniques

Instructional methods will include: lecture, lecture-demonstrations, class discussions, video tutorials, hands-on demonstrations, supervised production and assembly of parts and connection of panels, safety and clean up demonstrations.

Reading Assignments

FrameCAd manuals will be provided via PDF for students to review and reference. Students will research and collect data to support their design.

Writing Assignments

Project portfolio will include written project brief and some technical writing.

Out-of-class Assignments

Students will have to research and select appropriate doors and windows for their design project. Students will be assigned to research online city code and planning requirements for their proposed project and comply with applicable rules for their design project. Students will assigned to collect and summarize their research, notes, and project documents into a project portfolio for professional review. Students will generate ingineering reports and panel drawing for their project to include for their project portfolio. Students will be assigned to collect cost data for their project and summarize steel coil, fastener, and attachment connector quantities and costs. Out of class assignments, readings, writings, and project portfolio will take approximately 4 hours per week (64 hours total).

Demonstration of Critical Thinking

Students will select and design their project and select materials needed. Students will analyze and coordinate their project based on optimization for production and assembly.

Required Writing, Problem Solving, Skills Demonstration

Students will design their own project and complete it using the software. Students will test their proejcts by scheduling on the machine to verify compatibility and to develop intermediate level project coordination.
