Drafting, AAS

Program Learning Outcomes

The purpose of this program is to train and prepare graduates from diverse backgrounds to work with and assist architects, engineers, other designers, and technicians as part of construction, manufacturing, or engineering teams. Coursework prepares graduates to work collaboratively as design paraprofessionals across a range of capacities using a variety of software platforms. Students build skills in problem-solving, analysis, technical graphics, and basic design. Successful graduates are able to communicate effectively in multiple formats. 

Students who complete this program will be able to:

PLO 1 - Effectively and independently use CAD, solid modeling, and building information modeling software in alignment with industry standards. 
PLO 2 - Visualize three-dimensional objects from multiple viewing directions and translate three-dimensional objects into two-dimensional drawings.
PLO 3 - Create mechanical and architectural drawings which follow recognized national standards for format, annotation, lines, and symbols.
PLO 4 - Produce documents which accurately represent building systems, materials, methods, and building codes.
PLO 5 - Produce documents which accurately represent physical mechanisms and mechanical design strategies.
PLO 6 - Conduct research to solve basic design problems as an individual and/or part of a team.
PLO 7 - Use quantitative analysis of data as the basis for solving problems and making decisions.

Notes

• This is the parent program for: Drafting, 1-yr Certificate , Drafting for Commercial Construction, CPC , Drafting for Manufacturing, CPC , and Drafting for Residential Construction, CPC .  
• This program follows Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Requirements  unless otherwise specified.
• Cooperative Education (Co-op): Co-op offers drafting students college credit and a grade for on-the-job work experience related to their educational and career goals. Through Co-op, students connect theory and practice, develop skills, expand career knowledge, and make contacts for the future. Work schedules and work sites vary. For more information please see an Academic Advisor or the Program Coordinator.
• This program is articulated with Oregon Institute of Technology, which requires a higher-level math course than is required for the program. Contact your Academic Advisor for help with transfer to OIT.
• Students using lower-credit courses to meet General Education requirements may need to take additional Electives to meet the 90 credit minimum.
