Computer-Aided Drafting. Education for Technology Employment.
Northern Illinois Univ., De Kalb. Dept. of Technology.
This computer-aided drafting (CAD) curriculum was developed to provide drafting instructors in Illinois with a useful guide for relating an important new technological advance to the vocational classroom. The competency-based learning activity guides are written to be used with any CAD system being used at the secondary and postsecondary levels. The CAD curriculum includes the following components: identified CAD tasks, measurable components of performance, identified objectives, information and activity requirements, and mastery requirements. Appendixes include a troubleshooting guide, mathematics/science concept analysis, a crosswalk relating the state recommended drafting task list with the CAD curriculum, and a list of employability skills.
