Instructional Techniques

1.  Demonstrate mastery of digital and manual skills needed to design, visually communicate, and develop a constructable, small-scale wood structure. 2.  Evaluate the relationship and organization of construction documents; arrange and integrate a complete set using CAD and/or BIM digital tools. 3.  Create all necessary drawings (plans, elevation, schedules, sections and details) for a wood frame structure. 4.  Apply the principles of  wood frame construction to a complete set of construction documents and models to include:  foundation, framing, floor plans, elevations, sections, and details. 5.  Implement applicable code requirements to a small scale project. 6.  Demonstrate an understanding of the purpose, content, and relationship of construction documents by answering questions from worksheets and written tests and quizzes.

Reading Assignments

Students will spend 1 hour a week on chapter reading.

Writing Assignments

No writing assignments outside of out-of-class assignments listed.

Out-of-class Assignments

Students will spend 3 hours a week on sketching, drafting, or 3D modeling their project or drawing assignment.

Demonstration of Critical Thinking

Evaluation and critique of student drawings (visual)Evaluation of worksheets, tests, and quizzes (academic)

Required Writing, Problem Solving, Skills Demonstration

Critical thinking skills will be demonstrated through the preparation of technical drawings in response to building construction influences. Writing will occur in the form of construction specifications, instructions, and notations on documents.
