Course Outline:
The Mechanical Drafting Technology curriculum is designed for people wanting to learn the fundamentals of mechanical drawing. The courses included in the basic drafting skills and practices section are prerequisites for the mechanical drafting and applied technologies courses. The trainees learn about basic physics, measuring instruments, testing of materials, and drawings for welded parts, as well as mechanical drafting techniques. A total of 47 drawing plates must be completed as part of the program requirements. After successful completion of this curriculum, trainees will have the qualifications necessary for entry level positions as Detailers, General Drafters, Detail Drafters, and Layout Drafters. Upon completion of this curriculum, students will be able to:

Understand geometrical terms, lines, angles, triangles, circles, lettering, and projections used in geometrical, mechanical, and projection drawing / drafting.

Understand the uses of the equipment and materials associated with mechanical drawing.

Draw in detail the component parts that make up a typical mechanical power transmission system.

Draw industrial applications of sheet metal.

Describe the principles of mechanical technology, physics, and advanced mathematical calculations and measurements as they relate to mechanical drafting skills.

Special Note:

Students taking the Draftsman / Mechanical Drafting Technology curriculum should have completed or demonstrated knowledge of the Personal Computing Applications Software courses in Resource 1.

Education Direct also offers a career study program titled, Drafting with AutoCAD. Many of the courses listed in the following skills curricula are also covered in the Education Direct program. The Education Direct program contains the AutoCAD software application and requires the use of a personal computer.
