WHAT IS INTERIOR PLANNING?<br />

Everything that is manufactured, constructed, or remodeled<br />

involves charts, plans or drawings. <strong>The</strong> drafter puts the<br />

designs on paper that are essential to managers, financiers,<br />

engineers, and manufacturers.<br />

WHAT WILL I LEARN?<br />

<strong>The</strong> overall program objective is to develop an entry-level<br />

drafter; the program focuses on building construction. In<br />

addition to learning the basic skills such as lettering, line<br />

work, and drafting principles, the drafter learns to use codes<br />

specification and reference materials. Training is also devoted<br />

to learning Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) when the power<br />

of the computer and advanced software greatly expands the<br />

drafter’s productivity.<br />

PROGRAM MISSION<br />

<strong>The</strong> mission of the Interior Design programs is to provide<br />

students with relevant skills preparing them for their profession<br />

of choice. Students will be able to conceive and execute<br />

viable and creative design solutions for diverse clients.<br />
