Our Drafting and Design Technology program includes two different tracks for students to consider. Whether you plan to complete your studies in two years and go directly into the job market, or whether you plan to complete a bachelor's degree in a related field, our program has the flexibility to help you meet your goals.

Casper College graduates have found that an Associate of applied science degree has prepared them for either track. Many have gone right into the field of drafting, or into allied areas such as architecture, engineering or technology-related industry. Others have chosen to pursue bachelor's degrees to become industrial arts teachers, midlevel managers in manufacturing and engineering firms, and even engineers or architects. Our faculty advisors can help if you have plans to pursue additional education or a professional career in engineering or architecture.

Good mathematics and science skills are helpful to any student considering drafting and design. Those without strong skills can benefit from remedial course work offered at the college. Students also can expect to take general education courses such as government, communication, human behavior and cultural environment.

Emphasis is on the graphic solutions to engineering and design problems. Topics will include: visibility, notation, auxiliary views, true lengths and angles, bearing, grade, intersecting lines, lines on planes, point views, normal views piercing points, intersection of planes, contour mapping, outcrop, cut and fill, revolution of lines, vectors and perspective. Prerequisite: ENTK 1510 or permission of the instructor.

ENTK 1505 Introduction to GIS (2L,4LB,4CR):
An introductory course in geographic information systems (GIS) and an accompanying lab session. (Cross-listed as GEOG 1100.)

ENTK 1510 Drafting I (2L,4LB,4CR):
An introductory course in industrial communications through technical drawing and computer-aided drafting. Topics include, sketching, lettering, plan geometry, multiview and axonometric projections dimensioning using traditional drafting instruments and computer aided drafting equipment.

ENTK 1540 Introduction to GPS (1L,1CR):
Introduction to GPS covers the basic theory and use of recreational and professional global positioning system equipment. Topics covered include satellite triangulation, data gathering and types of data entry, GPS navigation, and export of data to GIS software.

ENTK 1650 Advanced Drafting (2L,4LB,4CR):
A continuation of the instruction received in Drafting I and Computer Aided Drafting I and II. The computer is used to perform advanced engineering drawings including: multiview drawings, sections, obliques, auxiliaries, advanced dimensioning and geometric tolerancing. Production and computer-aided drafting procedures will be emphasized. Prerequisite: ENTK 1510 and ENTK 2505.

ENTK 1710 Residential Architectural Drafting I (2L,4LB,4CR)[E]:
Planning homes with emphasis on today’s residential designs. Develop floor plans, kitchen design, elevations, cost estimates and various rendered pictorial presentation drawings, using sketching and computer-aided design techniques. Designs will follow local, state and national code specifications. Prerequisite: ENTK 1510 and ENTK 2505, or permission of the instructor.

ENTK 1720 Residential Architectural Drafting II (2L,4LB,4CR):
Development of technical architectural plans for the home developed in Residential Architectural Drafting I. Topics will include location plans, sectional drawings, foundations, framing, and scale model construction. Prerequisite: ENTK 1710 and 2505, or permission of the instructor.

ENTK 1750 Commercial Architectural Drafting (2L,4LB,4CR):
Design, planning, and architectural specifications of small commercial buildings. Topics include drawing conventions, plot plans, foundation plans, floor plans, elevations, details, schedules, specifications, and presentation drawings.

ENTK 2500 Computer-Aided Drafting I (AutoCad) (1L,2LB,2CR):
An introductory course in computer graphics using AutoCad software. The student will be given the opportunity to learn to do 2-D drawings, how to properly maintain files and how to produce hard copies. Prerequisite: ENTK 1510 and a working knowledge of Windows and word processing procedures, or permission of the instructor.

ENTK 2505 Computer-Aided Drafting II (AutoCad) (1L,2LB,2CR)[E]:
CAD II is a continuation of CAD I using the AutoCad drawing software. The student will receive training in advanced 2-D drawings, isometric drawings, file maintenance and plotting practice. Prerequisite: ENTK 2500.

ENTK 2510 CAD-3D Modeling (2L,4LB,4CR):
An introduction to 3-D modeling concepts, focusing on construction of three-dimensional objects using the latest release of CAD software. Includes wire frame construction, 3D surface and solid modeling, extrusion, Boolean operations, 3D editing, 3D views and rendering to produce multiview drawings and presentation drawings using AutoCad software. Prerequisite: ENTK 2505, or permission of the instructor.

ENTK 2515 Autodesk Inventor (1L,2LB,2CR):
Autodesk Inventor allows the designer to create almost any type of solid model or assembly. It is a basic to intermediate level mechanical design course and it includes part modeling, assembly, drawing generation, and presentation. The students will also be introduced to the concept of transferring data to and from different electronic media. The course is designed for students who are new to Autodesk Inventor and may not be familiar with any parametric solid modeling.
