Drafting and Graphics Engineering
By blending lecture classes with hands-on labs, community colleges and technical schools prepare students for work they will be doing when they graduate. This valuable mix of academic and practical instruction often costs less than education at state or private colleges and universities. In addition, classes may be smaller than at a university, allowing for more student-teacher interaction.
In this video, Ashley Baur, an engineering graphics student, explains how the community college she attends meets her career goals and her budget and scheduling needs. Click on the left to watch the video.
