Drafting & Design
Technology
Students learn to plan scale interpretations of engineering,
design, and architectural applications in industries.

If you learn Drafting & Design, you'll learn the math and drawing techniques you'll need to represent two-dimensional, three-dimensional buildings and objects. You'll not only learn to draw plans on paper. You'll also learn how to use computers. With computer-assisted drafting programs, you can make changes and add detail to your plans quickly. Increasingly sophisticated technology allows drafters to create more realistic images that almost seem like three-dimensional models, making it easy to imagine the finished structure or object. Mingus' Drafting and Design class comes complete with four different options of programs or activities. 1. CAD 2-D (beginners) 2. CAD 3-D 3. Architectural Design 4. Independent Studies

Nathaniel: I'm in 2-D design; it's easy, and you learn a lot. |
Mr. Badger explains complex information to students who show great interest. |
Mitch: I'm in 3-D design; I like it because it relates to real life. |

Career Opportunities Initial employment
after graduation is usually as a computer aided draftsperson working
with engineers as part of the engineering design team. CADD technologists
prepare engineering designs, drawings and related technical information
in multidisciplinary engineering teams or in support of engineers,
architects or industrial designers, or they may work independently.
They work in a variety of engineering disciplines (including electrical,
mechanical and structural design of buildings and other structures,
land development and infrastructure projects such as sewer and water
facilities). Interested about wanting to proceed or are interested in a career with Drafting & Design in the future? Here are a few of sites that will be of use.
