Career Opportunities
The Drafting Technology Program services several career fields. The program is divided into Architectural and Mechanical tracts. The student completing an AA degree program or certificate of completion can be employed in various businesses as a drafting technician, CAD operator, engineering assistant/technician, or home designer. 

On order to prepare students for work the program takes full advantage of and provides training on 2D AutoCAD, basic 3D with SketchUp and AutoCAD, advanced 3D modeling programs such as Revit, Inventor, and SolidWorks, for creating models and drawings and Rendering/Animation using 3DS Max for presentations. Many of the courses use exercises that students will likely encounter upon entering the work force.

A student who transfers to a university and earns a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering or Industrial Technology is in high demand and qualified for a wide variety of positions in industry and government.
