Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CAD) has become an essential tool for future architects and interior designers while in school and for the profession. As a follow-up course of introductory course on computer applications in interior architecture design, this course includes the use of CAD using AutoCAD, SketchUP, 3dsMAX, and architectural planning, design, drafting procedures, practices, symbols and preparation of advanced working drawings for architectural and interior design. This course also tackles how a design work can be represented using design computing techniques.

The student will demonstrate fundamental skills in representing interior design drawings using computer applications, including some pragmatic 3d modeling and photo-realistic rendering software such as Autodesk 3dsMAX Design with Mental Ray or Vray renderers. This course also aims to introduce a part of broad field of Design Computing, in terms of its research and pragmatic application domain in order to move forward to the next phase of study and practice.
