Cut out for a drafting/design career?
Many drafting and design students enjoy the challenge of solving problems and like to see the results of their work. Sound like you? As a drafter, designer or technician, you’ll use CAD software to prepare technical drawings of everything from computers to office buildings. In addition to 3-D models, you’ll provide exact dimensions, specific materials to be used and procedures that will guide production or construction.
Architecture v. engineering
Which niche is right for you? Architectural drafters and designers convert schematics into construction documents for homes and buildings. To succeed, you have to be both creative and technical. Engineering designers translate product ideas into accurate drawings for manufacturing—in fields like aerospace, medical device, electrical or mechanical device.
