MCCCD Official Course Competencies
1. Define, manipulate, and relate underground circuits using general CAD procedures.(I)
2. Create and manipulate drawing files and symbol libraries using CAD software with appropriate input devices and command toolbar/menu procedures. (II)
3. Set up and utilize basic drawing and dimensioning parameters for the production of CAD drawing files useful in underground commercial and residential design documentation. (III)
4. Demonstrate software documentation and other resources for problem solving underground utility circuits.(IV)
5. Use the capabilities of architectural software to provide dimensions, notes, schedules, and legends required for the completion of working drawings. (V)
6. Create and plot a complete set of drawings of all course work relevant to the creation of a portfolio of underground working drawings. (VI)
MCCCD Official Course Competencies must be coordinated with the content outline so that each major point in the outline serves one or more competencies. MCCCD faculty retains authority in determining the pedagogical approach, methodology, content sequencing, and assessment metrics for student work. Please see individual course syllabi for additional information, including specific course requirements.
