Answer 1

Drafting Technologists and Technicians At Work People in this occupation work in consulting and construction companies, in utility, resource and manufacturing companies, in all levels of government and in a wide range of other organizations. Drafting technologists develop and prepare engineering designs and drawings from sketches, engineering calculations, specification sheets and other data. They may write technical reports, submit construction specifications, costs and materials estimates, and prepare contracts and tender documents. Drafting technicians plan and prepare engineering drawings, plans, diagrams and layouts. They may work independently, in teams with engineers from many disciplines, or as support staff for engineers, architects and industrial designers. Education, Training and Experience People in this occupation must have a high school diploma. Most recent entrants have a trade/vocational or community college diploma. Drafting and design technologists usually complete a two-to-three-year college or technical school program in engineering design and drafting technology or in a related field. Drafting technicians usually complete either a one-to-two-year college program in drafting, or a four-year apprenticeship training in drafting, or a combination of four-to-five years' related work experience and college or industry courses in drafting. If they wish, draftspersons may obtain certificates of qualification from provincial apprenticeship authorities. Some employers require drafting technologists and technicians to obtain certification in engineering design and drafting technology, or in a related field, through provincial associations. This certification requires a period of supervised work experience, usually two years. With additional education or experience, they may specialize in civil, mechanical, electrical or other engineering design technologies.
