    Description
    This course introduces print reading skills as a basic communication tool of the trades. The material covered will focus on developing the students' ability to interpret two-dimensional views in such a way to convey the shape and characteristics of construction elements, and provide an overview of the scope of the project. Students will be able to recognize standard drawing methods, pictorial views, and how to read visual and verbal communication cues. Students will develop skills through a series of exercises including identifying parts of drawings, locating the building, pier, and heavy highway features, calculating dimensions, and using views to determine construction methods.
