Mechanical Designers and Inspection Technicians in industry require a very broad technological background. Students develop proficiency in board drawing and compute-raided drafting. Students prepare drawings for manufacturing and fabrication. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) drafting and design standards will be taught and reinforced as students prepare drawings in both 2-D and 3-D using AutoCAD, KeyCreator, and Mastercam applications software. These skills will be combined with knowledge of Quality Assurance and Inspection. Throughout this course of study, students use sketches, notes, technical literature, and personal research to complete assignments. Added to this will be knowledge of various measuring tools and techniques to verify requirements set out in the drawings created. Students complete related credits in the areas of manufacturing and engineering. For additional information, see the course description listed under Design Technology.
