Mission:
The mission of the Drafting and Design Technology program is to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to secure entry-level employment as a drafter in any application. The program, which uses the latest technology and innovative teaching methods, also transitions into Associate of Science and baccalaureate programs.
Description:
The program provides entry-level skills in Drafting and Design Technology for engineering, manufacturing, architecture and related disciplines. Instruction covers the various aspects of engineering and architectural drawings with specific instruction in 2D and 3D computer aided drafting. Solid modeling is emphasized to provide a variety of modes for communicating designs. With the inclusion of general education courses, this certificate can be directly applied toward the Associate of Science degree in Drafting and Design Technology.
Outcomes:
Graduates of the program will be able to:
-
Demonstrate knowledge and skills to produce orthographic drawings which comply with the standards of various industry organizations.
-
Identify and use different tools, equipment, materials and products commonly used to produce design media.
-
Demonstrate proficiency in industry-related computer applications by earning software certification.
-
Plan and initiate design projects to provide solutions to needs and problems.
-
Create presentations to communicate designs using rendering, animating, prototyping, and printing.
-
Evaluate existing models, solutions, and conditions as influences on final designs.
