Design Graphics Design Graphics Information 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 bachelor of science degree 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, culverts, sewage disposal systems, tunnels, topographical profiles and related maps and planning sheets used in construction of highways and river improvements. They may work with survey crews to collect data for construction drawings. Those utilizing this experience include: department of highways, forestry, county recorder's offices, engineering firms, manufacturers, development laboratories and government organizations. Mechanical tool drafters make sketches and drawings of machine parts, sub-assemblies, equipment tools, jigs, fixtures, fasteners and other engineering data.
