Every product you use from your cell phone to the car you drive had to be designed and built by skilled tech-nicians. Every house, shopping mall, or hospital had to be visualized and planned prior to construction. The Drafting and Design program at Central Commu-nity College provides students with the opportunity

to create anything they can imagine and trains them for lucrative ca-reers in employment fields of the future. This program uses the latest software to bring concepts to re-ality through intuitive design principles that adhere to cutting-edge industry processes. The Drafting and De-sign program teaches students the funda-

mentals of design, gives them the ability to document, evaluate, and modify their designs, and prototype their concepts.

Drafting and Design/Dual DegreeThe concepts taught within the Drafting and Design program in-corporate knowledge from other programs that tie closely with the manufacturing and construction fields. The Advanced Manu-facturing Design Technology (AMDT) program and the Construc-tion Technology (CNST) share a common focus with the Drafting and Design program in designing, document-ing, building, testing, and marketing prod-ucts. The collabora-tive approach devel-ops the skills students will need to work with others through an in-

novative curriculum utilizing design/build projects. Core competencies applicable in these programs allow students to take courses that apply to more than one de-gree. Many students are able to earn two degrees in three years. Gradu-ates of an integrated curriculum and dual degrees have access to more employment opportunities and higher skills to market to employers.

The Drafting and Design Technology program also offers the option of transferring to the University of Nebraska at Kearney’s Construction Management program. Students choosing this option will attain an Associate of Science degree from Central Community College. Coursework at UNK will prepare students with the knowledge and skills necessary to organize, lead, and manage people, materials, and processes of construction. Graduates will assist architects, structural engineers, and construction professionals in project management, scheduling and inspections of construction projects.
