About 

I am in the Drafting and Design technologies program at ITT Technical Institute, and I plan to gradurate in the year 2015 around September. An I plan to get recertified in AutoCAD and AutoDesk Revit 2015. 

I am a visual learner which makes me a valuable asset to any design firm, because being to see and visaulize the drawing or plan as the client or architect is explaining the problem allows me to quickly skeatch a design solution.

Education 

ITT Technical Institute, Norfolk, VA, US-058, Bachelors, Drafting and Design Technologies

Drafting is a type of graphic communication. Business and industry use drafting to translate ideas and concepts into working plans for something that can be produced or built. Computer drafting and design is one method to produce drawings in traditional design and drafting fields. The availability of computer-aided drafting (CAD) systems has enabled even small drafting firms to utilize computers for drafting and design.

Engineers, architects and designers provide their ideas, sketches and specifications to drafters. The drafters use that information to produce working plans that detail how to make the product.

The Drafting and Design Technology program in the School of Drafting and Design at ITT Technical Institute exposes students to a variety of fundamental skills utilized in entry-level computer-aided drafting (CAD) and design positions. Students are exposed to CAD technologies and conventional drafting methods to produce various designs, working drawings, charts, forms and records. Students will be exposed to both classroom theory and laboratory projects. If you have strong drawing ability, visual aptitude and attention to detail, studying drafting and design technology may fit your skills and interests.

This program can help graduates pursue careers in a variety of entry-level positions in various fields involving drafting and design, and may include mechanical drafting and design, Building Information Modeling (BIM), architectural drafting and design, parametric modeling, civil drafting and design and structural detailing.
