"Design is about making things good (and then better) and right (and fantastic) for the people who use and encounter them." - Matt Beale

A structure doesn't create itself. It takes design. And the design must be communicated in a way that everyone who needs to use it can understand. Drafters prepare technical drawings and plans used by production and construction workers to build everything from manufactured products such as spacecraft or industrial machinery to structures such as office buildings or gas pipelines. Their drawings provide visual guidelines showing the technical details of the products and structures, specifying dimensions, materials to be used, procedures and processes.

Computer Aided Design skills are transferable across many industry sectors and are used around the world. CAD is not only found in architecture, engineering and manufacturing, it is also the software used to produce media, entertainment and animation design. CAD is a tool to communicate creative ideas - in the form of a 2D blueprint, a 3D model, or an animated movie or video game. Use Inventor to simulate forces in engineering design. Use Revit Architecture for a dynamic 3D walk-through. Use 3ds Max to bring your animation to life. CAD is dynamic.
