Drafting Design Technology
In the drafting design technology program, students learn how to prepare
engineering plans, layouts, detailed drawings, and create mass and volume studies. The central activity of drafting and design
technicians, is to help convert an idea in a designer's mind to precise working specifications from which a product can be made.
Drafting design technicians assist mechanical engineers, civil engineers and architects, in the design and drafting of electrical circuits,
machine structures, weldments, and architectural plans. In this program
you will learn the basics of CAD or computer-aided design
while learning the fundamentals of drafting on a computer. The program also includes
three-dimensional solid model drafting through software programs.
Students work on many interesting in-class projects that will challenge their abilities and capture their imagination.
Each student develops a professional portfolio of work completed during the course.
Graduates of this program are well prepared to become a mechanical drafter,
architectural drafter, or a civil drafter. Further education may lead to additional employment opportunities.
