As for me:

I just graduated from ITT Technical Institute, in the Computer Design and Drafting program, in December. I was taught the basics of Engineering, Architectural, and Civil Drafting using Autocad, Architectural Desktop, Inventor, and other similar programs. Since January 3rd, I have been working as a Mechanical Drafter for Rogers Manufacturing Co., Inc. We produce dump bodies/trailers, and also flat beds. When hired, I was initially going to update old drawings, as this company dates back into the 1950's. I also had to learn a completely new program; DesignCAD 3000, which is about 6 years old. However, after the only other drafter (other than the Chief Engineer) passed away, I was thrown into that position. So now, I both update old drawings, and fulfill body orders by putting into a drawing, what is on paper, then giving that to the shop to produce. Also, rarely, I will produce some 3D part drawings, using Autodesk Inventor.

An example of what I do:


Nothing is to scale, it is just a very generalized drawing showing the guys in the shop what all is going to be included on the dump body.

It's pretty nice. Benefits are great. And it's nice to see something come in as a truck and chassis, and leave here looking like what I've drawn, ready to go to a quarry to be loaded.

Remember my credo: "Don't be a fool. Stay in school."
