Demand for drafters varies by specialization, and nothing in the industry is more exciting than mechanical/electronic drafting. No longer are the pen and pencil the standard for drafters. Today in this field, student drafters are taught Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) and can produce industrial drawings utilized in industry to produce all types of products. All students receive instruction in both two- and three-dimensional CAD systems.

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: developing (Level 2)(based on Associate's Degree)

  • Full-semester undergraduate or graduate courses — plan, organize, and deliver lectures on topics such as robotics or fluid mechanics with minimal faculty oversight.
  • Student class work, laboratory exercises, and written papers — assess consistently and return constructive feedback within established departmental timelines.
  • Active learning and varied instructional strategies — select and apply to engage diverse student populations in engineering degree programs.
  • Research manuscripts — write and revise for submission to peer-reviewed engineering journals or conference proceedings in a recognized specialization.
  • Grant proposal narratives and budgets — develop independently for federal or industry sponsors to secure modest external research funding.
  • Graduate teaching and internship activities — supervise and provide regular performance feedback to master's-level students in a departmental research group.
  • Professional society meetings and engineering conferences — participate in and synthesize insights to refresh course content and research directions.
  • CAD and CAM software environments — integrate into laboratory instruction to reinforce engineering design-and-manufacturing concepts for students.
  • Analytical and scientific software platforms — apply to research investigations and coach students in their appropriate use during guided lab sessions.
  • Cross-disciplinary engineering and mathematics knowledge — draw upon to respond to non-routine student questions and facilitate in-depth class discussions.
