Horn Drafting & CAD CenterHoustons first school to offer Computer Aided Design

Dear Student:

Your interest in my professional Computer Aided Design (CAD) courses is appreciated.

Over 40 years ago, I recognized the need in Houston for a professional schoolspecializing in this field. I conduct my classes like an engineering department, with eachperson working on their own project, at their own speed. My students are not numbersin a system, but individuals privately tutored who receive my personal attention.

There will be a constant need for trained CAD operators and designers in the future.When you consider that all of the things that are built or manufactured in Americarequire that drawings be made of them, it adds up to a lot of work to be done. CAD is agreat career choice because it doesn't require years of study to get into, yet it has vastopportunities for personal achievement and improvement if an individual is willing todevelop themselves.

CAD continues to be an area of growth. Drawings are produced on the computer, andthen sent to print. Productivity continues to increase as the technology is constantlyimproving. The features and capabilities of CAD software get more and moreproductive each year. There is always a steady demand for people with the latest andmost advanced skills. At my school, we always teach the newest techniques, using thelatest versions of AutoCAD and CADWorx software.

Again, thank you for your interest. I look forward to having you as a student.

Anthony HornDirector

History of theHORN DRAFTING & CAD CENTER

The Horn Drafting & CAD (Computer Aided Design) Center has its roots in a school opened by RaymondJ. Horn in Birmingham, Alabama in 1958.

Mr. Horn began teaching a few students Basic and several types of advanced drafting. He was asuccessful engineer who was experienced in structural design, naval architecture, and a number ofdrafting disciplines. He was a good teacher who stressed quality in one's work, and he cared about hisstudent's success.

In June 1966, a branch school was opened in Houston, Texas as a franchise. The owners included thelate Hal Childers and Dr. H. M. Landrum, a former superintendent of Spring Branch Independent SchoolDistrict. In December of 1967, the Horn family bought the school and in January 1970 Anthony W. Hornbecame sole owner. He is presently in charge of all management and instruction.

The school has been approved by the Texas Workforce Commission and the Texas RehabilitationCommission since the inception of the Texas Proprietary School Act in 1972.

In 1982, the Horn Drafting & CAD Center was Houston's first school to offer Computer Aided Designcourses to the public. The school has used a variety of CAD systems since that time, and it presentlyspecializes in AutoCAD, the most widely used system in the world today. For the piping course, theschool uses CADWorx Plant Professional software, which runs with AutoCAD, and is an advanced pipingsystem used by many engineering firms.

The classroom consists of 20 computers with 19" color monitors and a computer projection system in thefront of the classroom for student demonstrations. Also, each student has a computer desk and acomfortable operator's chair. The students receive high quality instruction since their instructor can give

each of them long-term individual attention.We continue to teach the same kinds of information we used to use in manual drafting. The differencenow is we do it all on computers. This gives the students all the technical knowledge they got in the past,plus valuable practice time running AutoCAD.

Our CAD courses continue to be revised to correspond to the latest techniques available usingcomputers. The Basic and Advanced courses are copyrighted texts written by Anthony W. Horn and areexclusive to this school or Mr. Horn's corporate clients. The Piping course is a new video based trainingcourse recently developed by Anthony Horn, and is being sold world-wide through COADEs internationaldealer channel (COADE is the company that writes CADWorx Plant Pro software). This course, which weuse to train our piping students, is the same materials that are used professional piping designers atvarious engineering firms. So the materials in use at the school are of top quality and contain the latestinformation and procedures.

In October 2009 the school moved to its new location at 3100 Wilcrest Drive, Suite 120, Houston, TX77042.

FACILITIES

The Horn Drafting & CAD Center is located at 3100 Wilcrest, Suite 120, Houston, TX 77042.

The classroom consists of 20 workstations with high speed computers and large 19-inch monitors. Thereis a computer projection system available for demonstrations and instructor led training. Each student hasa computer desk and a comfortable computer operator's chair. We are careful to use a standard AutoCADconfiguration, so the way we teach our students will be very similar to how they will find things to be in theworkplace.

We also run CADWorx Plant Pro software for the Pipe Drafting course. This allows students to getexperience with a top of the line professional piping system during their studies.

Course Descriptio n

Computer Aided Drafting/Design isconstantly evolving. As the softwareand hardware capabilities improve,we continue to modify the coursetopics to evolve with the software.

There are numerous CAD systems onthe market today. The most widelyused system is called AutoCAD,which is what we teach. We alwayshave the latest versions available fortraining, and the student will learn thetypes of skills and activities they canexpect to encounter when they go towork as a professional drafter. Thecourse covers fundamental, intermediate, and advanced topics. It is called an Operator's Course,because it includes the types of commands one needs to know to operate AutoCAD in a typicalprofessional setting.

The goal of the course is to train students so that when they are given a drawing and told to "put this into AutoCAD", they will be able to draw it, edit it, annotate it, and print it.

Prerequisite: High school diploma or GED

Objective: Employability as a CAD Operator

Requirements f or Graduation: To graduate, a student must successfully complete all assignmentswithin the specified maximum hours allowed and have a passing grade at the end of the course.

Course Descriptio n

Houston is the world center forpetrochemical plant design.

Because of this, there is always astrong need for qualified pipe andinstrumentation designers. Asplants grow older, they areconstantly being upgraded andmodified to become moreefficient. Also, newer controlsystems are being developed toincrease process efficiency, andplants are regularly beingmodified to make them more

productive. All of this requires drawings to be made and a large industry of plant design specialists hasdeveloped in the Houston area throughout the years.

This course teaches the fundamentals of pipe drafting. The first section introduces the student to Pipingand Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs), a type of drawing widely used in the industry.

Following that, the student will produce a series of drawings representative of those done in the industry.The course starts out with a 2D piping drawing, and then you are introduced to 3D piping. An Isometricdrawing is created, and from there the student goes through extensive 3D modeling. Drawings areextracted from the model, and these are then printed out and are good examples to show to prospectiveemployers during job interviews. In creating these piping models and drawings, students make use of

AutoCAD and also an add-on piping package called CADWorx Plant Professional, by COADE, Inc. Thissystem is considered by many to be the industry leading software for AutoCAD based piping design in theworld.

Structural drafting involves the drawing anddetailing of structural shapes (beams, angle

irons, channels, etc.) and connections. Itmay be drawing of buildings, chemical plantstructures or bridges. Because Houston hasso man petrochemical plants, roadconstruction projects and numerousbuilding projects, this type of drafting hasalways had a steady demand for drafters.

The student will learn the drawings neededfor drawing the beams, columns andconnections of a two-story office building, adrawing of a welded piping skid that istypically found in chemical plants in thearea, and how to detail both welded andbolted connections.

Upon completion, the student will have a working knowledge of the A.I.S.C. Manual (the standard forsteel construction) and some of the standards used in structural detailing. These drawings are goodexamples of working drawings encountered every day in the industry. They are top quality portfoliodrawings that will serve the student well during job interviews.

This broad area of work isalso in demand nationwide soindividuals trained in electricaldrafting can go anywhere in thecountry and find work. The work isinteresting and widely used and it isan excellent field for a careerchoice.

This course covers industrial type problems. Students first draw up a sheet of electrical symbols andstandard circuits. Then they draw a layout of an office building and calculate the lighting loads for thefacility. They then draw the lighting and place all the outlets for the offices. Following that is a schematicdrawing of the offices. The student will also learn about the wiring for a motor control center, a type ofinstallation commonly found in petrochemical plants. It involves a one-line diagram of the center, a cableschedule and an elevation view of the installation.

Upon completion, the student will have a working knowledge of basic electrical schematics and designprocedures for industrial projects. The drawings are also excellent work samples for a professionalportfolio.

The Architectural Drafting course is a course in residential construction drawings. Architectural drafterstake sketches furnished by architects, engineers or clients and prepare the finished construction drawings

for them. This course is presented as a real project to the student in a way that is similar to the way oneworks on an actual job assignment. The student is given a client's floor plan sketch and he (or she)makes the finished drawings from the client's ideas. The teacher also acts as the client and guides thestudent as needed through the drawing and design process.

This set of drawing familiarizes the student with a standard set of house plans. The set consists of a floorplan, foundation plan, kitchen cabinet details, wall section, window and door schedules, elevationdrawings, and site plan.

This course serves as the initial step for someone to pursue a career in architecture as an architect,designer, drafter or someone who uses CAD to do their work in this field. Upon completion, the studentwill have a high quality set of working drawings for use during their job interviews.

He looks at the student's graduation date, his type of training, andwhere he lives. He tells the student about the job and, if needed, will counsel the student on what toexpect in the interview. Because of our size and limited time resources, we don't have a placement officerworking the phones trying to place people. We do make sure all job calls get coordinated promptly,however. Historically, employment in this field for Horn school graduates has averaged from 70% to 80%over the past 30 years.
