Catalog Course Description:
	A broadly focused CAD course for CIDD majors, Engineering Technologies majors and Engineering transfer students. This course covers the basic techniques and principles necessary to produce engineering drawings, including the use of drafting equipment, freehand sketching, geometric construction, orthographic and isometric drawings, dimensioning and assembly drawings.

V. Evaluation:
	A. Testing Procedures:
			Evaluation in this course will be based on the quality of the final drawings produced, homework, and short quizzes given during the semester. There will be at least one individually produced, timed CAD drawing. Final grades will be calculated as follows: Board Drawings - 35% Computer Drawings - 35% Quizzes & Homework - 30%
	B. Laboratory Expectations:
		This course is primarily a laboratory course. Lecture time will be spent explaining the various principles and standards required for professional quality graphics. The student's laboratory time will be spent applying these principles to create specific drawings on either the board or the computer. It is not intended that the time required completing projects fit within the scheduled class or lab period. All computer drawings will require the same graphic standards and information as the board drawings.
	C. Field Work:
		Outside reading and sketching assignments will be required.
	D. Other Evaluation Methods:
		N/A
	E. Grading Scale:
		A 90-100% B+ 85-89% B 80-84% C+ 75-79% C 70-74% D 60-69% F 59% and below
VI. Policies:
	A. Attendance Policy:
		Pellissippi State Technical Community College expects students to attend all scheduled instructional activities. As a minimum, students in all courses must be present for at least 75 percent of their scheduled class and laboratory meetings in order to receive credit for the course. Individual departments/programs/disciplines, with the approval of the vice president of Academic and Student Affairs, may have requirements that are more stringent.
	B. Academic Misconduct:
		Academic misconduct committed either directly or indirectly by an individual or group is subject to disciplinary action. Prohibited activities include but are not limited to the following practices: Cheating, including but not limited to unauthorized assistance from material, people, or devices when taking a test, quiz, or examination; writing papers or reports; solving problems; or completing academic assignments. In addition to other possible disciplinary sanctions that may be imposed as a result of academic misconduct, the instructor has the authority to assign either (1) an F or zero for the assignment or (2) an F for the course. Note: It is expected and desirable that CID students assist other students. However, students may only submit work completed by themselves.
	C. Equipment:
			Students are expected to take utmost care when using equipment provided by Pellissippi State. No tobacco use, eating, drinking will be allowed in labs. Students are not to load unauthorized software on the computers. Do not use floppy disks for CAD drawings in any other computers other than in CID labs. Students are responsible for maintaining current copies of drawings on their disks. Do not relocate computers, monitors, digitizers or keyboards without supervision by an instructor. Do not copy, delete or move files without instruction by an instructor.
	D: Accommodations for disabilities:
			If you need accommodation because of a disability, if you have an emergency medical information to share, or if you need special arrangements in case the building must be evacuated, please inform the instructor immediately (privately after class for in the instructor’s office). To request accommodations, students must register with Services for Students with Disabilities’ Office located in J. L. Goins Administration Building, Room 127 or 131 or by phone: (865) 539-7153 or (865) 694-6751 Voice/TTD.
