CAD designers use computer-aided drafting software to create detail drawings and working plans for the process piping design, mechanical design and architecture design industries. It is from these CAD drawings that the conceptualization of an idea or design is transformed into a produced product.
The Computer Aided Drafting Certificate of Proficiency provides students the opportunity to study and learn 2D and 3D design, solid modeling methods and standards used in the production of drawings for applications such as mechanical, architectural, machine and/or process piping design.
Students have the opportunity to choose a CAD concentration in mechanical, architectural, or piping design.
After successful completion of the one-year program, the student receives the Computer Aided Drafting Certificate of Proficiency.
This program prepares graduates of the CAD Certificate of Proficiency to enter the workforce with a solid technical CAD background in their chosen area of study.
CAD Certificate graduates are encouraged to consider the opportunity to complete two more semesters of CAD training to earn the Associates of Applied Science Degree in Engineering Design Technology.
Marketable skills for this award include: interpersonal skills, computer skills + typing, problem solving, and technical skills
