Certificate of Achievement - Mechanical Design Drafting Technology
Catalog and Addendum 2009-2010
This certificate program prepares students for an entry level job as a mechanical drafter. Drafters work under the supervision of project engineers, senior designers and machinists to prepare, interpret and revise technical drawings using computer-aided-drafting (CAD) methods. Engineering technicians work as support staff in field, laboratory and/or office environments.
To earn a certificate of achievement, students must complete each of the required courses with a "C" grade or better. Some courses are not offered every semester so please consult with the program director for assistance in scheduling classes.
