(Jackson County Campus)

The Drafting and Design Technology program is designed to provide instruction in all phases of design technology to prepare students for positions as designers or computer-aided drafting technicians. Instruction includes computer-aided design, architectural design, civil planning, 3D modeling, and manufacturing. A combination of class work and laboratory experience is stressed.

Where a transfer to four-year college or university is desired, a conference should be scheduled with an MGCCC advisor.

All students completing a career or technical program must complete an MGCCC Board-approved Technical Skills Attainment where applicable. Students should see an advisor for further details.
