Comm Skills I - Course Outline

This course aims to develop skills for documenting designs using drawings and performing graphical analysis of two- and three-dimensional problems. The course has three components: sketching, descriptive geometry, and architectural drawing standards. Students will learn sketching media and techniques, principles of projection, and basic architectural symbols and drawing standards. The course will include lectures, study periods, projects, and continuous assessments. Students will be evaluated on sketching (30%), descriptive geometry (30%), and architectural drawings (40%).
