Drafting technology is a professional discipline that deals with composing drawings
that visually communicate how something functions or is constructed.

Student Voice
William Woerz III
William Woerz III was a student at Norco College in 2001 when terrorists destroyed
the Twin Towers in New York City. The attack compelled William to postpone his education
and to enlist in the U.S. Army. He chose Topographic Surveyor as his Military Occupational
Specialty so he could build on the drafting skills he had already acquired at Norco
College. After an honorable discharge due to a back injury sustained during a 2003
tour in Iraq, William soon realized that he needed to finish his education if he was
going to advance in his chosen career.
“Being the wise old owl and coming back to college proved to them deep down that as
a parent, a returning student and a veteran, if I can do it, anybody can do it,” William
said. William returned to Norco College and graduated with associate's degrees in
Architecture, Humanities, Philosophy & Arts, and Social & Behavioral Sciences, all
with great distinction.
