Associate in Science degree - Civil Design Drafting Technology
Catalog 2012-2013

The associate in science degree in civil design drafting technology provides students with the technical and analytical skills needed for employment in the field of civil engineering drafting.  Through both academic and laboratory study, students gain the practical skills needed for entry into the job market.  For example, civil drafters may work on plans for major construction projects such as dams, roads, bridges, and sewage systems; or prepare, interpret and revise topographic and/or relief maps using computer-aided-drafting (CAD).

To earn the degree, students must complete each course used to meet a major requirement with a "C" grade or higher and complete graduation requirements as listed in the catalog.  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 major and other graduation requirements; however, the units are only counted once.

Certificate of Accomplishment - Computer Aided Drafting and Digital Media for Engineering and Architecture
Catalog 2012-2013

Drafters create drawings and plans to specify dimensions, materials and processes for the finished product.  Such drawings and plans provide guidance to those working to complete the finished product.  Drafters also render drawings from blueprints, sketches, and photos and other sources which show the interplay of components and their relationships to one another, and to provide guidance for final assembly.

To earn a certificate of accomplishment, students must complete each of the required courses with a "C" grade or higher.  Some courses are not offered every term.  Consult with the program director for assistance in scheduling classes.
