CIVIL ENGINEERING GRAPHICS

URBRPL 791

Visual communication in planning addresses the communication of plans - specifically in the form of site plans, master plans, comprehensive plans, illustrative design codes, cartography, analyses maps, among other. Provides a planning and design graphics foundation to help realize the procedures in communication and information management within today's interdisciplinary planning process. Develop skills in graphic communication from techniques currently used in the planning, architecture, engineering, landscape architecture and urban design fields and review several digital graphic representation programs as a means of developing a planning graphics toolkit.

BSE 270

Introduction to computer aided design (CAD) concepts and techniques, including two- and three-dimensional drawing presentation, methods of graphic communication and design synthesis. Specific topics include parametric solid modeling, part design, survey data and surface construction, orthographic drawings, dimensioning rules and drawing standards, assemblies, and animation.

LANDARC 460

Focuses on the symbolic and representational computer graphics that are essential elements of design communication in landscape architecture. Reviews the strengths and weaknesses of hand and digital media and the use of both when appropriate. Topics and assignments include advanced hand sketching and graphics, computer graphic techniques, digital photography, advanced digital color theory and rendering, digital image processing, CAD drafting, 2D/3D modeling, image compositing, media formats, and video.

CIVENGR 250

Development of precise standards of drawing and the history and techniques of descriptive and analytical drawing.

ME 160

The skill of communicating through the graphic media of freehand and instrumental drawing. Architectural presentation, isometric, perspective and shades and shadows.
