Drafting Design Technology provides information for students interested in architectural, enginering, and related drafting fields. Students develop skills using drafting instruments and gain valuable knowledge using Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD)applications.

Students acquire visualization, sketching, and CAD drawing skills essential for a wide array of career opportunities in engineering manufacturing and construction areas. Students employ higher-level thinking skills for problem-solving techniques relative to Drafting Design Technology. Emphasis is placed on mechanical, architectural, and 3-D design. Each program is certified through the American Drafting Design Association (ADDA), a nationally recognized certifying agency. This program allows students the felxibility of earning from one to six elective drafting credits. Articulation programs are in place to allow students to earn postsecondary credit for courses taken at the high school level.

The course offers students educational experiences and SkillsUSA-VICA leadership abilities that provide many opportunities to enhance classroom instruction and career development.
