Description: The Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Drafting and Design Technology program is designed to prepare students as drafting technicians. Students will learn Computer Aided Design, Computer Numerical Control (CNC) programming, and basic manufacturing processes. Students develop skills in completing orthographic layouts, dimensioning, exploded/assembled and working drawings, 2D and 3D computer aided drafting and design, 3D printing, geometric dimensioning and tolerance (GD&T), and a general understanding of manufacturing in industry, all using American standards (ANSI). Students can also apply for the Certificate of Completion (CCL) in Computer Aided Drafting (5547) while pursuing the AAS.

Learning Outcomes
1. Produce sketches, multi-view layouts, pictorial views, sectional views, auxiliary views, exploded views, engineering assembly views, working drawings, and parts lists; all including dimensioning, symbology, linetypes, lineweights, drawing notes, and design related manufacturing callouts in a manner that is compliant with standard industry practices (ANSI). (DFT110, DFT111, DFT112) 2. Use the latest 2D, 3D, and 3D parametric modeling CAD software to develop technical engineering drawings in two-dimensional multiview and three-dimensional solid models in a manner that is efficient and compliant with standard industry practices. (DFT105AA, DFT254AA, MPT250) 3. Apply the principles and theory of manufacturing processes, basic operation of machine tools, properties of materials, and industrial safety. (GTC/MIT/OSH106, GTC216, MPT130MP, MPT260MP) 4. Create tool paths using computer numerical control (CNC) applications and principles. (MPT150, MPT130MP, MPT260MP) 5. Apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing according to ASME Y14.5M - standards, determine part function and relationship to each other, including tolerancing of parts for assemblies while calculating mating part conditions to guarantee part fits. (DFT115) 6. Compare additive manufacturing to traditional technologies to choose the best approach, including 3D printing materials and design layouts, for a given application to rapidly create prototypes. (DFT255) 7. Communicate with others in verbal and in written form to collaboratively solve problems within the discipline. ((COM), (CRE), [FYC], [HU], [SB]) 8. Use a fundamental understanding of scientific inquiry to solve basic problems within the discipline of design. (GTC107, GTC108, [SG], [SQ]) 9. Apply relevant knowledge, skills, and habits of mind to seek career opportunities in the field. (FYE101, FYE103)
