They will COMPLETE SCHOOLOGY assignments and attendance is taken based on completion by time due.
Scaffolded assistance in Teams is available at this time with instructor.




Design/Drawing for Production is designed to provide students with an introduction to drafting and computer-aided drafting.

This course will enable students to produce working drawings of simple machine parts, schematic diagrams, and three-dimensional detail drawings in accordance with ANSI (American National Standards Institute) Standard Drawing Conventions.

Students will understand basic drawing and editing commands needed for the production of CAD drawings. Students in this course will be encouraged to use visual problem-solving skills using a common graphic language to describe forms in the human-made environment. Students will develop skills that will help them analyze, creatively design, and critically evaluate various drafting problems.



A Successful Design and Drawing for Production Experience will:

Emphasize that creative problem-solving is the essence of good design, stressing that design is the creative element and technical drawing is the expression of design. The best designs turn disadvantages into aesthetic and functional advantages. The best drawings result from the application of the appropriate methodology and skillful manipulation of tools. Brainstorming and critical thinking activities can encourage this type of understanding.
Use a combination of conceptual, critical, quantitative and rational thinking modes in the design-solving process. This includes a special emphasis on visual and spatial relationships as a skill that is teachable and necessary for quality work.
Encourage an interaction with the 'real world' by using field study, resource material from the design professions such as journals, texts, periodicals; guest lectures by practitioners, as well as the tools professionals employ to save time and promote quality. The form and function of natural objects could be examined.
Introduce computer assisted design and drawing to the student and integrate it in design activity brief experiences.
Challenge the student to take risks in design solutions.
Include pre-vocational skills to prepare the student for employment as well as collegiate study.
Insist that careers in this discipline require the student to learn precision, personal responsibility and that this type of design and drawing should be achieved with an economy of means.
Assist teachers at the elementary level in teaching design and technical drawing.
Recognize the duality of the program that exists in this redesign: The Design Act as a Creative Exercise and The Drawing Activity as Communication.



Upon successful completion of this course students will receive one (1) credit toward high school graduation. This course will be the first in the career and technical sequence and satisfies the New York State requirement for art education. As Hutch Tech is a Technical Highschool, students must complete DDP as a graduation requirement.
