DRAFTING AND DESIGN TECHNOLOGY (DDT)
(Wallace and Sparks Campuses, Easterling Correctional Facility)
Drafting Technology encompasses many divergent fields of study, including aerospace, architectural, civil, electrical, mechanical, piping, structural, and technical illustrating. All of these fields focus on the ability to communicate by using a graphic language. Graphic communication is the ability to translate ideas and rough sketches into finished drawings that can be used to manufacture or assemble the desired product. These drawings are produced with the aid of specialty drawing and measuring instruments and the use of special computer programs. Students in this program learn basic drafting techniques as well as advanced topics within the fields of architectural and mechanical design. Computer-Aided Drafting and Design (CAD) is an essential part of this program and is explored in depth.
Drafting and Design Technology is directly related to other aspects of construction management. Students desiring to enter the construction management field must be prepared to supervise sites, estimate, schedule, and management projects. Those interested in Construction Management can select that field of concentration.
Students who complete general education core requirements and the required curriculum concentration courses will earn an associate in applied science degree. Students completing required curriculum concentration courses and CIS 146, ENG 101, MTH 100, and SPH 106 will be awarded a program certificate. Students completing all Construction Management concentration courses and CIS 146, ENG 101, MTH 100, and SPH 106 will be awarded a program certification. Admission is conditional and depends on the student's ability to perform the essential functions identified for this program. Reasonable accommodations are considered. |
