Cert in Drafting/Design Engineering Technologies/Technicians

The Mechanical Drafting program prepares students to produce mechanical drawings and technical documentation using computer-aided design. Foundational courses in drafting theory, applied algebra, descriptive geometry, and trigonometry build the technical base. Students then take mechanical drafting theory and laboratory courses that apply those skills. Laboratory work emphasizes CAD use in drafting projects. The program is a one-year course of study with 32 credits, and it includes communication coursework in English composition and oral communication. Students follow a Major Academic Plan to track progress through the program. Students build a technical foundation before moving into mechanical drafting theory and laboratory work. The required courses total 32 credits, and the program supports students in developing precise drawing and communication skills. Students should consult the Major Academic Plan for course scheduling.
