Cert in Drafting/Design Engineering Technologies/Technicians

This diploma prepares students for work in drafting. Depending on the area of specialization a student selects, graduates may find positions as drafters, CAD operators or civil technicians. The curriculum moves from foundational academics, including algebra and English, into technical drafting practice and software. Students learn to produce the drawings that engineers, architects and builders use to turn ideas into finished projects. The program is also open to those already employed in the field who want to upgrade what they know or retrain in current drafting methods and software tools. Because drafting technology changes with each generation of software, that flexibility lets working adults keep pace. New students, meanwhile, gain a structured path from basic skills to job-ready ability in the drafting field.
