Overview and Objectives

The objective of this course is to introduce students to the role drafting plays. Topics include drafting by
hand, drafting by computer, techniques for visualizing objects through both primary methods. The course
aims to understand the coordination between the hand and the eye, and the role drafting plays in the
field of civil engineering and the construction industry.

Resources
• Computers, workstations
• Hand drafting tools and worksheets
• AutoCAD 2020/2021/2022

Students are recommended to check the eClass portal to ensure that they are aware of any
announcements and supplementary material.

The textbooks should be viewed as complements to the lectures and labs, not substitutes. Students are
responsible for the material covered in the in-class lectures. That is why attendance is indispensable for
success in this course. If you have difficulty understanding the material, please contact me via email to
schedule an appointment to address your concerns.

Outcome
1. Identify and evaluate techniques of hand drafting
2. Understand how to use AutoCAD
3. Understand how to use Revit
4. 3D modelling basics
5. Classify and evaluate standards and methods of drafting

Evaluation
Students are expected to attend all lectures and labs, and must complete the lab assignments, two
midterm exams and one final exam. The lab assignments will be distributed and made available on the
eClass portal. Each lab assignment is due a week from the date it is made available, by the beginning of
class. Late submissions will not be accepted for any reason whatsoever. All students enrolled in the class
are expected to take the scheduled exams.

The weights assigned are given by the following (tentative) schedule:

Percentage of Final Grade

In class Quiz 10%
Midterm 1 20%
Midterm 2 20%
Final 30%
Lab Assignments 20%
100%

The exams will be closely related to the material covered in this course. Final grades will reflect both
absolute and relative performance. A combination of absolute measured and grade distribution will be
used to determine the final grade.

Policies
Missed Exams
University policy on missed exams and term work can be found in Section 23.3 of the Calendar. There will
be no make-up midterm exam. Students who offer a medical justification must submit the Request for
Deferral of Examinations or Term Work form or both. Students who miss the midterm for an approved
reason will have the midterm weight allocated to the final exam.

Students who miss the final exam must receive faculty (FGSR) permission to defer the exam. Please note,
as stated in Section 23.3(2)e of the Calendar: “A deferred exam will not be approved if a student (i) has
not been in regular attendance where attendance and/or participation are required, and/or, (ii) excluding
the final exam, has completed less than half of the assigned work.”

Course Outline
Policy about course outlines can be found in the Evaluation Procedures and Grading System section of the
University Calendar.

Academic Accommodation
If you require academic accommodation due to a disability, please see me at the beginning of the
semester to discuss your needs.

Learning Environment
The Faculty of Engineering is committed to ensuring that all students, faculty and staff are able to work
and study in an environment that is safe and free from discrimination and harassment. It does not tolerate
behaviour that undermines that environment. The department urges anyone who feels that this policy is
being violated to (1) discuss the matter with the person whose behaviour is causing concern; or (2) if that
discussion is unsatisfactory, or there is concern that direct discussion is inappropriate or threatening,
discuss it with the Chair of the Department.

Academic Integrity
The University of Alberta is committed to the highest standards of academic integrity and honesty.
Students are expected to be familiar with these standards regarding academic honesty and to uphold the
policies of the University in this respect. Students are particularly urged to familiarize themselves with the
provision of the Code of Student Behaviour and avoid any behaviour which could potentially result in
suspicions of cheating, plagiarism, misrepresentation of facts or participation in an offence. Academic
dishonesty is a serious offence and can result in suspension or expulsion from the University.

Statement for Recordings of Lectures and Labs

All lectures and lab sessions will be recorded and made available outside of class time to all students
within this course.

Recordings will be made available until December 27, 2020, by which time they will be deleted. These
recordings will be accessible through eClass. Please direct any questions about this collection to the
instructor, Md Saiful Islam, mdsaiful@Ulaberta.ca
