Drafters are now what was once known as Draftsmen or Draughtsmen. They prepare technical drawings and plans used by production and construction workers to build everything from manufactured products such as toys, toasters, industrial machinery, and spacecraft to structures such as houses, office buildings, and oil and gas pipelines. Drafters’ drawings provide visual guidelines; show the technical details of the products and structures; and specify dimensions, materials, and procedures.
Design Drafting Week takes place the same week as the ADDA National Conference. It has been set aside by ADDA to honor all of the individuals who are engaged in the profession of design drafting and graphic arts.
Chapters are ADDA's Student Organizations.
ADDA Chapters consist of students who are involved in Design, Drafting and Graphics Programs. Members can be involved in several training areas such as; drafting, design, pre-engineering, visual communications and other related graphic based classes. Chapters are designed very similar to those of other student organizations and can coincide with little effort.
The ADDA Annual Poster Contest is specifically designed for students who wish to challenge their ability in the development of a poster to promote Design Drafting Week.
