1 See your Career Program Advisor to help you get in the right classes. Drafting and Design Technology Associate in Science Degree (and Certificate Programs) Set Yourself Up for a Great Career Ready to be a translator? In a sense, that s exactly what a graduate of the Drafting and Design Technology program will be qualified to do, bridging the gap between engineering concepts and the production personnel who must carry out those concepts. The drafting and design technician brings concepts and language to fruition in graphical instructions for actual production. Today s high-tech information explosion has left its mark on all facets of the drafting and design industry. Draftsman today are required to work more closely with the engineer and to be much more highly skilled and versatile. Valencia s A.S. degree program prepares students for this challenging field utilizing state-of-theart drafting and design techniques and computer-aided drafting and design. Graduates can explore excellent career opportunities in mechanical assembly layout, or electro-mechanical drafting and engineering.
