This task list is intended for use in planning and/or evaluating a competency-based course in drafting. The tasks required to perform the duties of seven types of drafters (i.e., general, architectural, electronic, civil, structural, mechanical, and process pipe drafters) and technical illustrators are outlined. The following are among the duties covered in the individual sections of the guide: recognizing the fields of drafting; using and maintaining basic drafting equipment and machines; demonstrating correct lettering techniques; constructing orthographic views; using basic geometric construction and reproduction processes; freehand sketching of orthographic and pictorial views; constructing pictorial and sectional drawings and auxiliary views; constructing intersections and developments; using inking techniques to construct drawings; solving mathematical problems related to drafting; and applying the principles of computer-aided design. The occupational duty/task lists are the result of an extensive two-step development process in which information on current occupational requirements was gathered from such sources as consortia, trade associations, and current curriculum materials and was then synthesized by industry representatives, vocational instructors, and state-level representatives.
