Mechanical tooling & systems
Comprehensive training in SolidWorks, Inventor, and AutoCAD Mechanical. Drafters master geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, complex weldments, sheet metal developments, and fully detailed BOM sheets for production machinists.
Civil infrastructure & grading
Production workflows focused on Civil 3D and MicroStation. Candidates draft plan and profile sheets, stormwater drainage networks, volumetric earthwork calculations, and municipal subdivision layouts verified against local engineering manuals.
Electrical & control systems
Rigorous single-line diagram generation, PLC panel layouts, cable tray routing, and hazardous-area classifications built in AutoCAD Electrical and EPLAN to conform with NEC and industrial plant schematics.
Architecture & interior sets
Full architectural CD set compilation within Autodesk Revit and BIM 360. Students build coordinated wall assemblies, millwork details, reflected ceiling plans, and life-safety egress schedules for commercial permitting.
Four phases to placement
Drafting primitives & standards
Modeling & code compliance
Comprehensive capstone submittal
Peer review & placement
Construct parametric assemblies, terrain profiles, or multi-story structures while applying real-world engineering constraints, material callouts, and local regulatory building codes.
Defend the capstone drawing packet before practicing senior project engineers to validate tolerance stacks, clash reports, and immediate drafting readiness for hiring consultancies.
Establish precision drawing hygiene, line weights, projection conventions, scale verification, and discipline-specific title block configurations across standard drawing sheets.
Assemble an exhaustive 12-to-24 sheet fabricator submittal containing plans, sections, elevation views, exploded assemblies, and detailed schedules ready for tender.
