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 />
