Drafting Technology Degree Program

DT13 - 201412

Program Description

The Drafting Technology Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Degree program prepares students for employment in a variety of positions in the drafting field, such as drafter or CAD operator, based on the specialization area a student chooses to complete. The program provides learning opportunities which introduce, develop, and reinforce academic and technical knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for job acquisition, retention, and advancement. Additionally, the program provides opportunities to upgrade present knowledge and skills or retrain in drafting practices and software.
