Drafting & Design Technology AAS Degree
Architects plan and design houses, factories, office buildings and other structures. Drafters use software to convert the designs of engineers and architects into technical drawings. Most workers specialize in architectural, civil, electrical or mechanical drafting and use technical drawings to help design everything from microchips to skyscrapers.
