This document outlines a group project assignment for an Introduction to Drawing course. Students will be assigned to groups and asked to research and present on drawings from one of seven professions in the construction industry. They must investigate the types and functions of drawings used in their assigned profession, as well as the scope of work and responsibilities within that profession. Groups will create a presentation and presentation materials exploring these topics. They will then present their findings to the class and submit all materials on a compiled CD for assessment based on their demonstrated understanding, the content of their work, and the creativity and clarity of their presentation.
