Drafting Emphasis
Manufacturing Technologies Degree –
Associate of Applied Science
Drafting is a critical skill for a diversity of industries, including
manufacturing, engineering, construction and architecture.
Students in the TMCC drafting program develop both manual
and computerized drafting skills, including standard two-
dimensional drawings and three dimensional solid modeling.
With an AAS degree, drafters are prepared to work with designers
and engineers to develop graphic instructions used to complete a
variety of projects.
DegreeOutcomes
Students completing the degreewill:
• Fulfill the requirements of the Associate of Applied Science.
• Demonstrate competency in their specified emphasis.
Emphasis Outcomes
Students completing the emphasis will:
• Understand drafting conventions including symbols,
linetypes, lineweights, and dimension styles as applicable to
mechanical drawings.
• Create complex drawings including orthographic projections,
pictorials, working drawings, and development drawings; and
prepare drawing details including auxiliary views, sections,
tolerances, and surface finishes, all within specifications.
• Create complex 3D models to specifications using advanced
commands.
