skills. Research shows mixed results about this. Some researchers say that theway to train students is to teach only CAD drafting skills5. Other researchers present theargument that drafting is best acquired by learning manual drafting skills3. In interviewingvarious drafting teachers, an overwhelming response was given of the importance of teachingboard drafting techniques prior to CAD drafting. The following literature review will examinesome of the research conducted on drafting learning strategies in general.This paper explains the process used to develop a course that was accepted by all stateinstitutions of higher education to be used by all high schools in the state for concurrentenrollment.

approaches were supported by regulardesign check-ins and the use of design representations to specify a goal. In essence having adefined destination and a map to get there provides a sense of comfort and security. Based ontheir prior experiences in design courses students were able to retrospectively discuss how theyused representations to define and independently move towards a project conclusion. However,the dead-reckoning analogy is more prominent in real-time reflections, revealing an underlyingprocess of adaptation and emergent decision-making. Teams frequently revisited and redefinedtheir project goals based on new information from client meetings, interviews, and research.
