    Description
    Students will be introduced to reading and interpreting residential and light commercial construction drawings and specifications. Topics include energy efficient and traditional materials, symbols, and abbreviations. Students will learn to interpret plot plans, floor and roof plans, elevations, details, and sectional views including the alphabet of lines. This is a print reading, not a drafting course, although sketching techniques are taught. Use of the architect's scale is taught. Students will utilize Building Information Modeling (BIM) as part of this course.
