mission of the drafting and CAD technology program is to prepare
individuals for employment as drafters in a specialized field of his/her
choice.
The curriculum is certified by the American Design Drafting Association and maintains compliance with engineering and industrial practice. Drafting or technical drawing, the graphic language of industry, is used to communicate the information required to make a product, erect structures, or describe land features. Drafters translate data and sketches into detail drawings. Their duties may include interpreting directions, making sketches, creating drawings to scale, and specifying details. Drafters are employed by architects, civil engineering firms, contractors manufacturing and machine related industries, surveyors, and in city, county, state, and federal government engineering departments depending upon their area of expertise. They have a broad range of responsibility and the ability to accomplish complex work with the understanding of drafting principles, good technical aptitude, and knowledge of CAD (Computer-Aided Drafting) programs. |
