The Drafting and Design concentration emphasizes design concepts and graphical techniques involved in the production of engineering and architectural drawing. Emphasis is placed on computer aided drafting and design utilizing the latest in commercial software.

Students with higher education credit that is not readily transferable can still be awarded credit through a departmental transcript review or through departmental proficiency examinations. Students must meet with a program advisor to request the transcript review or proficiency examinations.

This program is designed for the student who does not intend to transfer to a baccalaureate degree program.

Degree: Associate of Applied Science

Emphasis: Engineering Technology

Concentration: Drafting and Design
