SUNY Suffolk is a comprehensive community college committed to open access, equity, and student success, and candidates for adjunct faculty positions should be prepared to demonstrate their commitment to these values.

Instructors must have an architectural background to teach students how to create precise technical 2D drawings using AutoCAD and 3D models using Revit by teaching one of the following courses:

DRF112 - Technical Drawing/Basic CAD

Course Description:

This is an introductory course to basic and intermediate drafting practices that test students' ability to produce, read and understand technical working drawings. Included are basic geometric drawing, Multiview drawing, measuring to scale and dimensioning of technical drawings. Work includes two-dimensional and pictorial (engineering and architectural) drawings created by hand and with the use of CAD (Computer-Aided Drafting). Note: DRF112 and DRF114 are equivalent and credit will not be given for both. (2 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. laboratory) No prerequisite. Offered on: A / 3 cr. hrs.

Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Demonstrate the ability to properly use both manual drafting equipment and AutoCAD software by reading, understanding and creating basic geometric shapes, multiview drawings, sectional drawings, pictorial drawings and technical working drawings based on industry requirements.
2. Communicate the geometry and intent of design features by effectively adding standardized dimensions and notes to drawings.
3. Effectively manipulate the AutoCAD software interface which includes file setup and management by producing drawings of the kind used in industry.

DRF218 - Architectural Drafting: Presentations

Course Description:

Aesthetic design of simple structures. Topics include site plans, perspective, modeling and rendering techniques, and use of computer-assisted drafting system. (2 hrs. lecture, 3 hrs. laboratory) Prerequisite: DRF112 and COT114. Offered on: A / 3 cr. hrs.

Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. Effectively apply commercial space planning guidelines and basic design principles to their project as governed by codes and standard practices.
2. Properly use Revit software by reading, understanding and creating a comprehensive set of commercial design development drawings of the kind used in industry.
3. Effectively communicate design projects by describing verbally, graphically and in writing the design intent by following typical industry guidelines in executing a presentation.
