Credit Hours: AEC Architectural Graphics, 2 hrs. Co-requisite: AEC 132-Lab. Introduction to the fundamental principles and techniques used to graphically represent architectural content and ideas. Course Overview: This course is designed to provide architectural and construction students with an overview of the methods, language, and techniques used to generate and interpret architectural drawings. Special emphasis will be on the terms used in architecture, generating orthographic projections, freehand sketching, drafting and design using CAD software, and building code and design features. Learning Outcome: In this course, students will develop introductory knowledge about the elements necessary to create and interpret construction plans used in the construction industry. This basic understanding will allow students to further develop their expertise of the construction documents used in industry by providing the framework upon which the remaining construction and architecture courses can expand.

5 Page 5 of 12 Assignment Submission/Deadlines: It is critical that you avoid procrastination in order to succeed in the classroom environment. All assignments will be given with reasonable completion times and you are encouraged to immediately begin working on them in an effort to meet deadlines. No late work will be accepted. Early submissions are welcome. Assignments, quizzes, and exams have different deadlines. Please refer to each item and check to ensure that you are aware of when each is due. No late assignments will be accepted You will receive no credit if your work is not submitted prior to or by the deadline. The format for all assignments you submit is: <your last name, underscore, first name, underscore and the assignment name> e.g., <sharp_jessica_exercise1>. If the student fails to follow this format or use software other than those specified in the Technology Requirements section of this syllabus, the instructor may at her discretion, not evaluate the assignment and award no credit. All assignments will be evaluated for grammatical and spelling errors. Points will be deducted according to the number of errors contained in the submitted work and the impact these errors have on the quality of the assignment. Academic Honesty: The following is from The University of Southern Mississippi Undergraduate Bulletin, page 88: When cheating is discovered, the faculty member may give the student an F on the work involved or in the course. If further disciplinary action is deemed appropriate, the student should be reported to the Dean of Students. In addition to being a violation of academic honesty, cheating violates the Code of Student Conduct and may be grounds for probation, suspension, or expulsion. Students on disciplinary suspension may not enroll in any courses by The University of Southern Mississippi. Plagiarism: If you are unsure what this is and how to avoid committing it, please follow the link below to complete a Plagiarism tutorial. Committing plagiarism is a very serious offense and may carry severe consequences!
