		Drafting and other graphic communication used in interior design the course
		Content will also introduce PROFESSIONALISM so that students will begin to 
		Practice their graphic work with the highest standards as a goal in production;
		PROCESS, so that the students understand and can begin to produce drafted
		Documents understanding the order and reason behind the process; PRINCIPLES
		AND PRIORITIES, the student will learn to integrate and follow methods which
		Best lead to fully researched and notated construction methods, as well as,
		Know when to employ certain construction drawing standards; PUBLIC AND 
		ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, the student will understand and know which
		Routes to follow to find rules and regulations that need to be followed, as well as,
		The student will learn what every designer today must know and follow to make
		Least toxic and best sustainable choices for the environment by showing these
		Choices in the drawings and specifications; PRESENTATION,  this will be a major
		Objective of correct, full information properly represented with the highest 
		Quality of drawing, printing, assembly, and thoroughness of information needed for 
		The architecturally drafted design shown in a completed working drawing package.
