BLUEPRINT DRAWINGS

Course Length: Quarter Course

Credit: 0.25 credit

Grades: 9-12

Prerequisite(s): None

Course Description: This course introduces students to mechanical and architectural drawings with an emphasis on blueprint reading and interpretation. Students learn to define blueprints, plans, and specifications; understand how they are prepared; and identify the purpose, importance, and proper handling of a complete set of plans. Instruction includes identifying cover pages, title blocks, views, details, symbols, abbreviations, lines, scale, and the use of a fractional rule to calculate measurements. This course also requires a hands-on portion in which students create their own architectural blueprints for a “dream cabin,” applying proper drawing conventions and handling procedures. Required materials for this activity will be sent to students, and failure to complete the hands-on portion will result in not receiving the 0.25 credit.
