An introductory course in Building Design & Construction to explore emerging CAD/BIM tools to design code compliant homes. Course content includes instruction in 2D and 3D Computer Design (CAD) software to design and model a small residential home with an emphasis on residential methods and materials of construction, codes, and Building Information Modeling (BIM).  As a Community Engaged Learning Class, students will reflect on their experience interacting with HFH representatives throughout the semester to design their next home build. These reflections will equate to 10% of the final grade and will be submitted periodically throughout the semester.  A minimum of 4 reflections will be required to assess their Civic Knowledge and Skills to solve the design problem presented by HFH. It is estimated that each student will submit 40+ hours of service with HFH, a minimum of 8 must be through “A brush with Kindness”, Home Builds, or Restore hours. The remaining hours will be completed through the amount of time spent designing the semester long project for consideration of being the plan selected to be built.
