COURSE DESCRIPTION:
DFT 211 Computer Aided Drafting II continues the work of CAD I and covers intermediate level and
advanced CAD skills. Included in this course will be file management, blocks, attributes, dynamic blocks,
external references, parametric drafting, 3D surfaces & solids, rendering and architectural drawings using
AutoCAD Architecture.
3 lectures, 5 labs, 5 credits
Prerequisites: DFT-201 CAD I
Co-requisites: None
STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
As a result of meeting the requirements in
this course, students will be able to:
Student performance on these objectives will be
measured by:
1. Recognize the importance of using block
symbols in CAD drawings.
Drawing exercises and exam questions.
2. Recall various commands used to draw and
model geometry in 3D.

exam questions.
3. Identify the software features used to
produce rendered drawings.
Final project drawing and exam questions.
4. Demonstrate the value in customizing the
software.
Drawing exercises and exam problems.
5. Identify the benefits to using architectural
add-on software.
Drawing exercises, final project drawing, and
exam questions.
6. Define and implement productive and
efficient drawing techniques.
Observation during lecture/lab and final exam
questions.

Drawings are due the class meeting after they are assigned. Drawings submitted after that date will be
lowered one full letter grade per class meeting that they are late. Drawings will not be accepted after the
final submission date listed in the calendar and will receive a failing grade after that last submission date.
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
Attendance will be taken twice during each class period. The first attendance for the lecture portion of the
class will be at the beginning of each class. The second attendance, for the laboratory portion of the class
will be taken at 11:30 a.m. for classes beginning in the morning, 5:15 p.m. for classes beginning early
afternoon, and 9:45 p.m. for evening classes.
If a student is absent from the lecture portion of the class, it will be recorded as an absence for the entire class
period. If a student is absent from the laboratory portion of the class, it will be recorded as an absence from
that portion of the class only.
A letter grade will be deducted from the class participation portion of your final grade for each absence
beyond three absences from either portion of a class period.
SPECIAL NOTES:
A final grade cannot be assigned for the course until all drawings,
projects and examinations for the course have been completed.
Make-up examinations will be administered in accordance with the
instructor’s and division’s policy.
FACULTY ABSENCE PROCEDURE: Please note well.
A daily listing will appear in the glass case located in the main hall A bldg. which will indicate all classes
which are cancelled. Students can consult this case before going to class. If students find a class cancelled
which has not been listed, they should report this to the divisional dean’s office (A325) or to the
evening/Saturday office (L113).
