WHAT IT MEANS:
Drafting is a graphic language used by industry to communicate ideas and plans from the creative design stage through
production. Computer drafting and design is one way to produce drawings in traditional design and drafting fields.
Many industries use drafters who can translate ideas, sketches and specifications of an engineer, architect or designer into
complete and accurate working plans needed to make products, engineer projects or create structures. The availability of
micro-CAD systems has enabled even small drafting firms to utilize computeraided drafting and design.
WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU:
If you like to draw, are detail-oriented and like to see the results of your work, you could be the kind of student who would
feel at home studying computer drafting and design at ITT Technical Institute. The goal of the program is to help the student
acquire the skills to enter the workplace as a versatile draftsperson able to make basic design decisions and capable of
addressing the challenges of future technological advances in the drafting and design profession.
The Computer Drafting and Design program in the School of Drafting and Design combines, wherever appropriate, computer-aided
drafting with conventional methods of graphic communication to solve drafting and basic design-related problems. Students will
be exposed to both classroom theory and laboratory projects. In addition, students will be required to create a variety of
drawings of various sizes on different drawing media, and will use conventional as well as computer-aided drafting equipment.
This program can help graduates begin careers in a variety of entry-level positions in various fields involving drafting and
design, some of which include mechanical drafting, piping drafting, architectural and construction drafting, civil drafting,
interior design, illustration and design detailing.
