DESIGN GRAPHICS TECHNOLOGY Adviser: Keith Allred Description The Design and Graphics Technology program is responsible for providing the skills and technical knowledge to students entering the design/drafting occupations. Drafting technicians prepare working drawings from design layouts, sketches and verbal instruction using conventional methods as well as computer aided drafting (CAD) systems. Drafters do tracing work, drawing changes, single detail drawings, full project drawings and checking. They work in mechanical, electronics, architectural, structural and civil fields. They use calculators, computers, handbooks and other engineering reference materials while applying geometry, algebra and trigonometry. Drafting jobs are available with cities, counties, states, the federal government, engineering companies, research and development companies, architects, construction, and fire protection industries.
