State Technical College of Missouri
DESIGN DRAFTING TECHNOLOGY 15.1301
(Associate of Applied Science Degree)
The Design Drafting Technology (DDT) program of State Technical College of Missouri is thorough and comprehensive, with a balanced mix of mechanical, architectural, civil, electrical, and structural drafting. The DDT program has been awarded program certification by the American Design Drafting Association (ADDA), a nationally-recognized professional drafting association, which assures a high quality program that benefits both education and industry. The DDT program is also accredited by the Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE).
After a brief introduction to manual drafting techniques, drawings are produced using computer aided drafting (CAD). Using engineering data, specifications, and various equipment, drafting technicians assist in determining design changes and production costs. They may also be required to apply their knowledge to solve particular design problems such as those involving tolerance, stress, strain, bending, and compression. The department has two state- of-the-art CAD labs with the latest versions of software used in industry. Students are scheduled in small classes to ensure individual attention and high quality instruction.
Graduates of this program are qualified to take positions as industrial and architectural designers, engineering technicians, cost estimators, and quality assurance technicians. Drafting and design technicians often assist engineers and architects with design and development
work.Most drafting technicians work from rough sketches, specifications, and technical data furnished by engineers. Their job is to transform these ideas into precise drawings. Drafting technicians use handbooks and tables for computations concerning strength, reliability, and cost of materials.
The Design Drafting Technology program has three one semester advanced certificates available that are designed for Design Drafting Technology program graduates and industry professionals who have gained similar knowledge and skills through work experience. The Advanced Light Commercial Design certificate will strengthen the students’ knowledge and skills in the light commercial architectural and structural design field. This certificate will help the students research building codes, understand specifications needed and how to create them for light commercial buildings. In the Advanced Civil Design certificate, students will learn to use 3D civil drafting software and Global Positioning Systems (GPS) software and systems. These software programs and systems will advance the students’ knowledge and skills in the civil drafting area. The CAD Programming and 3D Animation certificate will give the students’ knowledge and skills in CAD programming and creating 3D animation projects. Students will use technical writing skills to produce 3D animation projects.
Due to the green revolution, there has been a fundamental change in the way building projects are approached. Today’s skilled drafting technician needs to understand the fundamental concepts associated with improving environmental performance on every project. The Design Drafting Technology program contributes to the green economy by emphasizing the fundamental concepts of sustainable design, green building practices, and why sustainability is important. The program also expands the discussion of green building strategies and technologies by studying the methods being used worldwide.
Enrollment in the Design Drafting Technology program is limited and students are selected for this program on a competitive basis. Contact the Office of Admissions for the specific application requirements and deadline.
