Design Drafting

Tec?voc's design drafting program prepares students for careers and college or university training in drafting, engineering, manufacturing, architecture and interior design. The students are exposed to drafting and design practices used in today's industries using the latest "computer assisted design drafting" (cadd) software. 

Essential Skills:  

• The drafting, engineering, and architectural professions seek people with: positive attitudes, skills in problem solving and design, math, literacy, communication, team work and computers.
• Students have the opportunity to develop these skills in Design Drafting at Tec?Voc.

Grade 9 (.5 Credit) DRHR1G

• This course exposes students to the basics of design and drafting, which are applied to careers such as Architecture, Interior Design, Manufacturing, and various fields of Engineering. Students will be exposed to the latest CADD (Computer Aided Drawing and Design) software, which they will use to create drawings and small parts.
