2019 Student success stories

James Neal | Triangle Tech

8/23/2019

After I separated from the Marine Corps, I decided to attend Triangle Tech because of my interest in CADD. I have family members that previously attended Triangle Tech and recommended I go there to earn my Associate in Specialized Technology degree in Computer- Aided Drafting and Design. I selected the CADD program because I had experience with CADD in high school and I enjoyed the program and could see myself having a career in Drafting and Design.
Some of my biggest challenges while attending Triangle Tech included transitioning into civilian life after the Marine Corps and time management. I had to learn how to manage my time between all the projects worked on at once throughout the
day.

Some advice that I would give to current Triangle Tech students would be if you put in the time and effort you will be very successful at Triangle Tech.

At Huntington Ingalls Industries my position is a Designer. Some of my responsibilities are to revise drawings and communicate with senior designers and engineers to get the most current information and changes. As well as keep all the databases up to date with the drawings I work on. I would say that I hit the ground running and put all my time and energy into earning my degree at Triangle Tech. Some of my future goals are to earn my Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering and attain a position as a Mechanical Engineer.
