The Drafting and Design Technology program is designed to prepare students to apply technical skills via computer assisted design and drafting to create two-dimensional and three-dimensional engineering designs. It includes instruction in specification interpretation, dimensioning techniques, drafting calculations, material estimation, technical communications, and computer applications. In addition to the occupation related skills, students completing this program will develop advanced critical thinking, applied academics, inter personal relations, life management, and business, economic, and leadership skills required for the 21st century workplace. The Drafting and Design Technology program consists of a core curriculum and four areas of specialization for a student to choose from: Option A: Architectural Drafting, Option B: Civil Drafting, Option C: Electronics Drafting, and Option D: Mechanical Drafting. The program uses a delivery system made up of four integral parts: formal/technical instruction, experiential learning, supervised occupational experience, and the Career and Technical Student Organization, SkillsUS.
