Back to Gallery Leslie's field Drafters draw pictures for a living. They create technical drawings by hand and by using computers. Usually drafters specialize in one type of drafting. Learn to deal with bias and criticism, but don't lose your compassion or nurturing or the other good things that men may think are weaknesses.
Business needs more of that.
Leslie Roman has a keen eye, a steady hand and a talent for drawing. She took that ability, honed it into a marketable skill at the community college, and worked her way up into a demanding and critical position at OECO Corporation, a company that designs and manufactures electrical power conversion products for use in computers, medical equipment and military applications. As the new product introduction planner, Leslie takes a project from the beginning, when a customer describes the need for a product, to the end, when the product is mass produced. The Industrial Illustration program that Leslie took shares classes with the Drafting program, so Leslie learned mechanical, electrical and plumbing drafting. The program taught students to create precise drawings of objects by hand using math skills and careful observation, and then introduced computers.
