Design and Development is a program of study relating to the design of industrial, architectural, and machine products. The program is generally associated with drafting and drafting related activities although students learn modern office technology necessary for control, manipulation, use and transfer of images. Students learn the basic skills to develop design concepts into plans and specifications that can be produced in various industrial settings. The majority of courses have some computer assisted design (CAD) as part of the learning process. Computer applications used range from AutoCad and Microstation to various 3-D, technical illustration, and digital imaging programs.
