This program is designed to prepare students for employment as an industry technician or draftsman who is able to make detail and design drawings. The program provides students with knowledge and experience in the areas of computer-aided drafting (CAD), robotics, and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), so that they are prepared for the high-technology methods employed by industry. Graduates assist engineers and designers in the in vestigation, experimentation, and development of products, tools, mechanisms, and machines. Graduates also prepare appropriate detail and design drawings for use in production. Jobs for which graduates are expected to be qualif ied include detail draftsperson, design draftsperson, product design, machine design, and tool design.

Upon successful completion of this program, graduates will be able to:
• use common standards and symbols to mak e detail and assembly drawings according to accepted industrial practice. • construct drawings using various special areas of drafting, such as electronic schematics, piping, welding, structural, sheet metal layout, and castings. • explain the differences between various common manufacturing materials and have a knowledge of the processes available to transform these materials into finished products. • work from handbooks, catalogs, and other informational sources to obtain the data necessar y for selecting machine components. • design basic tools, jigs, f ixtures, and punch dies. • use creative thinking and good judgment when considering all the factors involved in the evolution of a mechanical design. • demonstrate and apply the basic principles of fluid power. • operate a typical computer drafting system. • organize and write a technical repor t indicating the data that was determined for the selection of a machine component. • determine by calculation the various operational values related to machine components, such as force, speed, and power. • determine by the design of a product or machine the ef fect it will have on the human element.
