This document provides an instructional plan for a course on Introduction to AutoCAD 2012. The course will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-10pm from June 25th to August 22nd. The plan outlines the course objectives, outcomes, student demographics, materials needed, and applies Wlodkowski's four motivational conditions of inclusion, attitude, meaning and competence throughout the timing of the course. Strategies like introducing themselves, explaining objectives clearly, providing feedback, and incentives are used to maintain student motivation.

Location: Westwood College, 7619 Little River Turnpike, Annandale, VA campus. Room 532.
Day and time: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6:00pm to 10:00pm.
Start date: June 25, 2013
End date: August 22, 2013
Course objective: To learn the basics of the software AutoCAD 2012 to create simple drawings to include floor plans, elevations, details
of architectural and mechanical components and content. The knowledge of the software is essential for the creation of drawings made
by Computer Aided Designers and Drafters, Architects and Engineers. The students will also learn the origin of Computer Aided Design
(CAD). Students will also learn briefly of the industry National CAD Standards (NCS) and the American Institute of Architects’ (AIA)
layers and naming conventions.
Course outcome: Upon completion of the course, the students will be able to complete CAD drawings consisting of floor plans,
schematics, mechanical components and layout. Students will also be able to drawing a single to two-story building (house) showing the
exterior with front, left, right and back views. Drawings will be drawing to scale, the text will be of the proper height and font for
industry standard and all components will be in the proper layers.
Student demographic: The student population consists of students in the CAD Design, Architecture and Construction Management
programs. The student age range is from 18 to 50 years of age. The ethnic groups covered are all races and nationalities whose language

is Basic English. The geographic locations of the students are within driving range of the campus, basically from the Washington, DC
Metropolitan area.
Materials needed: The students must have access to a 32-bit or 64-bit PC (laptop or desktop), running Windows XP, Vista, or 7, 2 GB
RAM, 2 GB free disk space to install the software, 1024 x 768 display resolution with true color, an Internet connection and the latest
Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome or Safari browser, and a DVD or download capabilities from Autodesk. Download option can be
achieved from Autodesk by registering the software as a student using the student’s school email address. The software license is valid
for three years from activation. Activation code will be emailed to the student. Textbook AutoCAD 2012 and AutoCAD LT 2012: No
Experience Required by Donnie Gladfelter is also required. Printing capabilities for large format printing will be accommodated by the
school’s printing center. The student has the option for large format printing from other sources, if desired.
