Computer-Aided Drafting & Design (CADD)

Drafting is a combination of engineering, architecture and design. Drafters take ideas and place them on paper for manufacturing and construction purposes. Drafting professionals create blueprints, building plans and schematics used in building highways, bridges, buildings and other facilities and public works. Mechanical drafters use software to create solid models and detailed technical drawings of machinery or mechanical devices. These drawings are used by industries that design and manufacture products.
