 My name is Dana Vega. I am the drafting instructor at Suncoast Technical College. Drafting is the process of drawing a design. Designs may be drawn on either paper or computer. When we use a computer to draft or draw a design, it's called computer aided drafting. The drafting program teaches both hand and digital drawing. Drawing is divided into two disciplines. Mechanical drafting and architectural drafting. STC prepares students for the industry certifications needed in all drafting software. Drafting is integrated with many of the industrial programs at STC. Drafting students have the opportunity to work in the machining and advanced manufacturing labs. We also collaborate with electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and construction classes building a Habitat for Humidity home every year.
