DESIGN AND GRAPHICS TECHNOLOGY Description The Design and Graphics Technology program is responsible for providing the skills and technical knowledge to students entering the Design/Drafting occupations. The major categories under which Design/Drafters jobs are classified are: Architectural/Structural Drafting, Civil Drafting, Electro/Mechanical Drafting, and Mechanical/Tool Drafting. An associate of applied science degree is offered in these four areas. As our physical world becomes more technical and sophisticated, structures, tools and machines become more complicated. This is one reason that computers are moving into the drafting room. Many industries are looking to the computer to help solve their Design/Drafting needs. Computer-aided equipment enables the designer to analyze and design a part accurately and rapidly. The specifications of that design can be stored, and then recalled for further modification and evaluation at a later date. Once the design has been finalized, the computer-aided design process is used to produce the final working drawing. The computer- aided drafting process is emphasized in all classes and will receive an increasing thrust in the future. Computer applications are applied in selected units of most courses. Education The first year program is intended to provide students with the background and skills to enter the job market as beginning junior drafters. Instruction in the second year is organized to develop the students' technical knowledge and skills in the four occupational areas. Associate of applied science graduates are qualified to enter the drafting occupations as beginning drafters. If students desire to continue their education in the Mechanical/Tool specialty, they can acquire a diploma after their third year of school which would allow them to enter the job market as beginning mechanical tool design drafters. Students may continue their schooling through a fourth year and obtain a B.S. in Manufacturing Engineering Technology with an emphasis in Computer-aided Design or Tool design. Some adjustments will need to be made with the program manager and department chair. Job opportunities are expected to be favorable through the 90's because of very rapid growth in technology. Prospects will be best for those having post high school drafting design training. Career Opportunities Architectural/Structural drafters make sketches and drawings of buildings, structures and houses. They may assist in making estimates for project costs. Industries which utilize this experience are home contractors, building contractors, architectural and structural firms and steel manufacturers. Civil drafters make sketches and drawings of roads, Student Services Interdisc.
