This certificate program prepares students for an entry level job as a civil drafter. Drafters work under the supervision of civil or structural engineers, architects, and/or surveyors as support staff in jobs requiring them to prepare, interpret, and revise technical drawings, or gather and categorize field data. Engineering technicians work as support staff in field, laboratory and/or office environments.

To earn a certificate of achievement, students must complete each of the required courses with a “C” grade or higher. Some courses are not offered every term so please consult with the program director for assistance in scheduling classes.
