Advanced Drafting Certificate
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.
