Winners of the annual SkillsUSA Championships in Architectural Drafting have been announced. Student contestants used their drafting skills to solve an architectural problem that included a written test, a hand sketch, a computer-generated problem and a problem that could be solved using either board drafting or CAD. The contest tested the contestants’ problem-solving abilities, not simply their CAD skills. Plotting is not a scored event but the contestants must have been able to generate a plot file that was used to send their data to the plotter.
