应用科学副学士学位分为三个领域：大约770个小时的必修课程培训，大约300个小时的普通教育课程培训以及大约660个小时的专门相关课程培训。<br>课程允许学生在机械，建筑，土木或结构制图领域发展自己的重点领域。对于更一般的背景，学生可以从各个领域完成课程。设计绘图是一项庞大且快速发展的职业，该领域的未来是广阔的。计算机将协助起草程序，但不会代替具有全面制图教育的设计起草者。<br> <br>该学位课程可让学生抽样广泛的起草职业，包括机械，建筑，土木，和结构起草。学生将熟练掌握董事会制图和计算机辅助制图。学
The Associate in Applied Science degree is divided into three areas: approximately 770 hours of training in required drafting courses, approximately 300 hours of training in required general education courses, and approximately 660 hours of training in specialized related courses.<br>The specialized related courses permit students to develop their own areas of emphasis in mechanical, architectural, civil or structural drafting. For a more general background, the student may complete courses from each area.Design drafting is a large and fast-growing occupation, the future of the field is wide open. Computers will assist drafting procedures, but they will not replace the design drafter who has a comprehensive drafting education.<br><br>This degree program allows students to sample a broad range of drafting careers, including studies in mechanical, architectural, civil, and structural drafting. Students develop proficiency in board drafting and computer-aided drafting. Students prepare drawings for manufacturing and fabrication. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) drafting and design standards are taught and reinforced as students prepare drawings in both 2-D and 3-D using AutoCAD as well as other Parametric modeling application software. Throughout this course of study, students use sketches, notes, technical literature, and personal research to complete assignments. Students may take related credits in the trade areas of building, manufacturing, engineering, and welding.
