REQUIRED STUDENT MATERIALS:The Kishwaukee College Drafting kit should be purchased from the college bookstore unless students already have their own similar tools and materials. Drawing media will be supplied for most assignments given but students may be required to purchase their own media for some projects in both board and CAD sides of the program.CAD designers back up drawing data to two or more locations. Therefore, students of this program need to consider one (or more) of four backup options as follows; the 50Mb of student file space provided by the 2KISHWAUKEE COLLEGE SYLLABUS – CAD 131college’s server, a self-contained portable USB hard drive, a USB thumb drive, or a free user drawing storage account at www.AutoCADWS.com or http://Autodesk360.com.VI. ADDITIONAL STUDENT REFERENCES AND THEIR LOCATION: Students are encouraged to visit and contribute to the instructor’s accumulated web LINKS page at:http://www.KishwaukeeCollege.edu/cadIn advanced courses making use of large format copiers or plotters, students are NOT to make copies untiltheir drawing has been submitted to the instructor electronically as a PDF, DWG or DWF for checking andapproval. Students should make use of either AutoCAD WS or Autodesk Design Review. Both of theseprograms are free downloads. This practice is green and parallels industrial practice.VII. BREAKDOWN OF COURSE REQUIREMENTS:In general, assignments are worth approximately 75% of the final grade. Class participation is includedtherein. Assignments can be in the form of drawings, written reports or question/answer sheets. Quizzesand Exams are worth approximately 25% of the final grade. All assignments are due on or before the lastregularly scheduled day of class unless a due date is announced prior to this day.VIII. OTHER COURSE REQUIREMENTS:Students may need to put in extra lab time during open lab hours, as posted, to complete requiredassignments. CAD systems are available in A-1345 and A-1415. Assignments are to be completed duringclass unless done as individualized instruction or homework.Students are expected to attend all classes and arrive for every class on time as examples of good workethics. Any student who does not exhibit these traits of attendance and punctuality should not expect a letterof reference from the instructor at the conclusion of the program. In advanced courses making use of large format copiers or plotters, students are
