DRAFTING TECHNICIAN:
ARCHITECTURAL/ELECTRICAL/MECHANICAL

Drafting Degree

SB70 Grant

The drafting programs provide the basic knowledge and skills in drafting, mathematics, and related scientific and engineering areas to prepare students for employment in any of three drafting fields. Each option focuses on both drafting-table methods and computer-aided drafting (CAD), as used in manufacturing, architectural, and electronics industries.

Courses designed to fulfill major requirements for an Associate in Science Degree from Chaffey College are not the same as those required for completing the major at a transfer institution offering a baccalaureate degree. Students who intend to transfer to a four-year college or university in any major should consult the catalog of the appropriate transfer institution and a Chaffey College counselor to develop a preferred plan of study.

The architectural drafting technician students enroll in math, physics, physical science, art and technical drafting, of which two semesters are devoted to residential planning, perspective, and 3-D model construction. The skills and knowledge gained in this program prepare qualified students for work in offices of architects, structural and mechanical engineers, and related industries, as engineering aides or technicians.
