Drafting
You can be a part of a field that helps build bridges, buildings and other infrastructure. Studies show that drafting and computer-aided design positions will grow through 2023 by nearly 200 jobs per year in the Inland Empire and desert regions alone. And those are high-paying jobs, with architectural drafters and civil CAD technicians earning a median salary of nearly $60,000 per year. With more college education and practical experience you can find opportunities for jobs as civil engineers and architects.

2+2+2 Program
The engineering technology program is designed as a 2+2+2 program that provides students
pathways from High School to Chaffey College to careers or to 4-year engineering technology
programs. Students are provided with the opportunity to get Chaffey college credit
for core drafting and engineering technology courses by taking Project-Lead-the-Way
and drafting classes in their high schools.
Specific articulation agreements are in place between Chaffey College and local high
schools. Articulation agreements are also in place for most of our courses that can
be transferred to the engineering technology programs at Cal Poly Pomona and CSU Long
Beach.
