Drafting
DRAF 1100 cr-9
Drafting Fundamentals
This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts and
methods of drafting and will include orthographic projection,
auxiliary views, dimensioning, intersections, surface developments
and pictorial drawing. No past drafting background is assumed,
though the content is equally suited to a learner who requires an in-
depth review of high school drafting. Emphasis within the course
will be toward the development of professional drafting skills.
During the course students will be participants in an individually
directed learning process that will involve the use of packaged
instructional material, supplemented as required by small group
lectures, seminars, and individual instruction.
Prerequisites: Grade 12 with min. Grade 11 Algebra
DRAF 1110 cr-6
Architectural I (Residential Plans)
Working from a sample floor plan, with related codes and
standards, students will produce a set of working drawings for a
one level single family residence. The project drawings will include
all details and notes that are normally required for building permit
submission. During the course students will be participants in an
individually directed learning process that will involve the use of
packaged instructional material, supplemented as required by small
group lectures, seminars and individual instruction.
Prerequisites: DRAF 1100, or the BC Drafting Program: Common Core-
Competency Profiles “A” to “S” inclusive.
DRAF 1150 cr-2
Introduction to Computer Aided Drafting (CAD)
This course is intended to provide an introduction to Computer
Aided Drafting (CAD). The focus will be on a familiarization of
the latest revision of the AutoCAD computer software drafting
package. File management and work organization techniques will
form an important aspect of the course. During the course
students will be participants in an individually directed learning
process that will involve the use of packaged instructional material,
supplemented as required by small group lectures, seminars and
individual instruction.
This course introduces student to the basic applications of word
processing, electronic spreadsheets and database for the
Architectural and Engineering business environment. Computer
fundamental processes are first reviewed to provide a basic
understanding toward better system management and hardware/
software problems resolution. During the course students will be
participants in an individually directed learning process that will
involve the use of packaged instructional material.
Students will use standard office software in conjunction with
AutoCAD. They will create presentations and link them with
parts of drawings. Students will extract and combine drawings with
typical office presentations. They will create a small web site with
linked pages including a students resume and online portfolio.
DRAF 1210 cr-6
Architectural II (Residential Plans)
(outline under review)
This course further develops those architectural drafting skills
introduced in DRAF 1110. The student will produce a complete
set of working drawings for a two level single family residence. The
project will involve: a perspective presentation, site plan with
project data & statistics, floor plans, cross sections along with all
required construction details, notes, and short-form specifications.
The completed set of drawings will exceed those normally
produced for a building permit and will include specific interior
planning details, such as cabinets and at least one interior staircase.
During the course students will be participants in an individually
directed learning process that will involve the use of packaged
instructional material supplemented as required by small group
lectures, seminars and individual instruction.

Program: Common Core or, at Kwantlen: DRAF 1110
DRAF 1270 cr-2
Drafting for Surveying
Surveying basics, contour maps and coordinate geometry are the
topics covered in this course. This knowledge is applied to draw
site plans and to perform cut and fill analysis. There is also a 15
hours field work in which the students use surveyor’s transit for
taking and posting field measurements.
Prerequisites: Provincial Drafting Core
DRAF 1271 cr-3
Drafting for Subdivision
Students will apply coordinate geometry to a property zoned for
subdivision development to determine pin locations and traverse
lengths from field data. Roads will be added, including calculations
for curve data and cul-de-sac. The subdivision will then be divided
into building lots by determining sizes that will maximize the
development usage. This project also introduces the use of ink
pens on mylar. Current by-laws will be adhered to.
Prerequisites: Provincial Drafting Core and DRAF 1270
DRAF 1272 cr-5
Drafting for Highways
The objective of this course is to develop highway construction
drawings. Students will learn the basics of locating highways based
on contour formations, and they will be introduced to curve
designs to meet topographic conditions and speed limitations.
Earth displacement principles are also introduced.
Prerequisites: Provincial Drafting Core and DRAF 1270
This course provides an understanding of the features and
limitations associated with the operation of a micro-computer
based computer aided drafting system. Participants transfer manual
drafting skills to computer operations, and adjust to the electronic
tools provided with AutoCAD. This course combines three
Authorized Autodesk® Training Center (ATC®) classes
(AutoCAD for the Professional Level I, Level II and Level III)
which covers Introduction, Intermediate and Advanced topics.
The Introduction section will demonstrate how to create a line
drawing, and print/plot in out. Intermediate topics will go further
into the power of AutoCAD to organize information for
multiple uses within a drawing. The advanced section includes
dimensioning and the sharing of information between drawings.
The development of a full understanding of all AutoCAD
commands in order to create and analyze CADD drawings is the
primary goal of this course. Further courses for customizing and
programming AutoCAD require successful completion of this
course.
Prerequisites: An approved post-secondary program or related industrial
experience as determined by the instructor
