Technical Drawings

The SPS required students completing diplomas in Civil Engineering, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and Architecture to complete a prescribed set of technical drawings each year in order to pass. These programs required that the students complete these drawings during allotted hours in the drafting rooms.
