Drafting Classes

Drafting Classes are focused on many specialties, each with its own set of knowledge and skills and each applying to different fields. Most fall into the five major specialties: Architectural, Civil, Electrical, Electronic, and Mechanical.

Education from drafting classes makes you capable to draw and plan to specify dimensions, materials, and processes used in the making of a final product. These drawings are guidelines for the workers who will actually build or make whatever is being produced. Drafters also make drawings from blueprints, engineering sketches, photos, and other sources, which show how parts and other objects work, their relation to one another, and how they will be put together.

Working from rough sketches, verbal instructions, and/or engineering data, Drafters and Design Drafters may produce working drawings by hand, such as schematic drawings, process and instrumentation diagrams, and drawings of finished products, using drafting machines, rules, curves, triangles, and other drawing tools. More often, these workers produce drawings using a computer assisted drafting system (CAD).

The Design Drafter works under the direction of the Project Engineer or Chief Designer. He or she mainly develops design concepts, with attention to appearance, proper mechanics, and other necessary things. The Design Drafter often acts as supervisor and drawing and detail checker and may also act as go-between for the drafting room and the production area or construction site.

Employers expect you to have a high school education, plus training in drafting from a trade school or college. Many require at least a full associate's degree in drafting or a specialized area of drafting. For those who want to go into design work, a bachelor's degree in drafting and design is advisable. It is necessary for drafters at all levels to be trained in computer-assisted drafting (CAD). In general, the Drafters with the most formal education will have a bigger choice of jobs and better chance for promotion.
