Purpose The Drafting program trains and prepares 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.
Learning Outcomes The graduate will be able to:
- Demonstrate basic competence in the use of CAD, solid modeling, and building information modeling software.
- Visualize three-dimensional objects from multiple viewing directions and translate three-dimensional objects into two-dimensional drawings.
- Create mechanical and architectural drawings which follow recognized national standards for format, annotation, lines, and symbols.
- Demonstrate basic understanding of mechanisms and mechanical design strategies.
- Conduct research to solve basic design problems.
- Solve problems and manage projects as part of a team.
- Use quantitative thinking to translate concepts of a problemsolving task into mathematical language and solve using mathematical operations.
- Communicate clearly in written, verbal, and graphic formats.
