This course introduces the fundamentals of construction engineering graphics and computer-aided documentation, focusing on their application in civil engineering and construction-related professions. Emphasizing the future of digital communication in the industry, students will explore advanced visualization and analysis techniques through the integration of sketching, computer-aided design (CAD), and emerging technologies. The course covers industry-standard graphic conventions, database management strategies, and methods for generating, interpreting, and sharing precise geometric models. Students will develop skills in creating, manipulating, and analyzing 2D and 3D visualizations to effectively communicate and solve complex construction problems in a dynamic, technology-driven environment.
Learning Outcomes1Understand the Role of Construction Graphics: Demonstrate knowledge of the history, theories, and importance of engineering design processes and graphics in construction, including their role in real-world problem-solving and communication.
2Apply Geometric and Graphic Standards: Develop proficiency in creating and solving 2D and 3D geometric forms and applying construction graphic standards and codes to engineering problems.
3Utilize Computer Graphics and Visualization: Effectively use computer-aided design (CAD) tools and 3D visualization skills to analyze, solve, and communicate construction challenges.
4Enhance Communication Through Graphic Conventions: Present solutions clearly and accurately using appropriate 2D and 3D graphical communication standards and conventions.
