Engineering Drafting and Design
Upon completion of the Engineering Drafting and Design program, students should be able to complete advanced engineering drawings that include assembly and sub-assembly drawings, sections, details, and primary and secondary auxiliary views. Students will also learn the process of estimating and cost analysis, and the fundamentals of machine design. Basic math, geometry, and writing skills are essential in all class projects.
Job Opportunities Include:
- Mechanical Engineer
- Structural Engineer
- Civil Engineer
- Architect
- Machine Designer
- Project Manager
- Tool Designer
- Drafter
- Structural Engineer
- Estimator
- Quality Control
Curriculum
Introduction to Engineering Drafting and Design

Prerequisite: None
This course introduces the learner to the concepts and theory of drafting principles and continues with computer-aided drafting and design. Manual drafting study areas include geometry, orthographic projection, sectioning, pictorial drawing, and third angle projection. Basic math skills are required for this class.
Engineering Drafting and Design Advanced I
Grades: 10-12
Prerequisite: Introduction to Engineering Drafting and Design
This course introduces the student to an advanced engineering environment, as well as a detailed study of mechanical and architectural projects. Advanced AutoCAD and solid modeling will be introduced. Basic math, geometry, and technical writing will be essential in all class projects.
Engineering Drafting and Design Advanced II (Honors Credit)
Grades: 11-12
Prerequisite: Engineering Graphics Advanced I
After successfully completing Introduction to Engineering Drafting and Design and Engineering Drafting and Design Advanced I, the student will have the skills to complete the following tasks: drafting (mechanical and architectural), simple project design, estimating, cost analysis, and project scheduling.
