Sometimes, I can’t help myself but laugh to both teachers and students saying taking Drafting as an elective subject is risking a possible high grade if you take like computer or journalism. It's true, because Drafting is the foundation to the studies of engineering and architecture. It includes not only writing and reasoning but of critical analyzes in solving practical problems applicable to actual setting. However, difficulty is only a negative thinking that lies in the mind that automatically obstruct in the formation of strong personality. It is a character that tends to block the gateway to success to whatever endeavor an individual wishes to undergo.

A misconception and lack of understanding always lead to regrets and ultimately frustration. Drafting is enjoyable as chewing cashew nuts which is not only delicious but beneficial to the brain. It’s cool as singing the worldwide popular birthday song, effortless as writing the letters of alphabet, as easy walking leisurely with a loved one in the park under the shades of trees. Setting this kind of mindset, Drafting will be a field of everyday challenge to the enthusiasts wishing to explore the wonders of technical and applied arts.

As I farther study the course, I discovered three simple and easy ways to make Drafting enjoyable. First, follow the step by step instructions. Second, ask question to dubious things and directions. Third, use appropriate tools and instruments. Once these simple ways are practiced, difficulties and doubts will disappear. What makes this area of interest different is that, it is full income generating activities quietly good advantage for student who could not pursue college.

Teaching Drafting is preparing technically, professionally, socially, emotionally, mentally, and physically the coming generation. It is an opportunity granted to few.


The Goal:

The Drafting Technology, area of the Technology and Livelihood Education Department, is highly motivated to produce a productive and dynamic citizen that could easily response to the needs of the changing society, professionally and technically equipped with skills and values, responsible and cooperative to the programs initiated for the national interest.
