It has been said, "if you build a better mouse trap the world will beat a path to your door". Well let us be conservative, even if only one person in ten take the opportunity to purchase your trap the first year, that is still 600,000,000 sales. We should be generous and only ask a 25¢ profit, that is $ 150,000,000 or more. Who can spend that much each year? You might as well order that sports car, buy some neat duds, make vacation plans, etc. There is much to do when you are rich and famous.

 

Perhaps oral and written communications are not that clear. There is a chance the builders may not quite get the correct message. A small chance, but miscommunication has happened.

 

Let us check on the production. It is not enough to notice a problem and think of a solution, or a better way to address the problem. One must then communicate the solution to those who will create the device or piece of equipment.

Communication can be very clear. Or perhaps communication can be a bit foggy, certainly technical communication is required, that is to say Technical Drafting. Drafting is the system that allows clear, concise, certain communication. The designers communicate with creative genius to produce the design. The drafters communicate with manufacturing to produce the device.

Technical Drafting is the language of industry and the vehicle for a rewarding life. Thanks to the certain design and clear communication of technical drawing, the design and production of a better mouse tray could earn you fame and fortune.

If perhaps you can invent a better mousetrap you may well want to spend some of that wealth contributing to building a technology building for Shasta College, with your name over the door. Shasta College Engineering and Technology will honor you.
