Associate in Science degree - Mechanical Design Drafting Technology
Catalog and Addendum 2009-2010
The associate in science degree in mechanical design drafting technology provides students with the technical and analytical skills needed for employment in the field of mechanical engineering drafting. Through both academic and laboratory study students gain the practical skills needed to entry into the job market. Drafters prepare, interpret, and revise technical drawings using computer-aided-drafting (CAD) and may gather and categorize field data.
To earn the degree, students must complete each course used to meet a major requirements with a "C" grade or better. Students who wish to transfer should consult with program faculty and college counselors to insure that the requirements for transfer to appropriate institutions are met. Certain courses may satisfy both a major and a DVC general education requirement; however the units are only counted once.
