Computer-Aided Drafting Technology Programs

The primary objective of the CAD Systems Management curriculum is to prepare individuals for employment as computer-aided drafting and design technicians. Graduates will be prepared for jobs that involve managing the engineering document process as well as the CAD system hardware and software.

Emphasis is placed on developing the student’s ability to interface with computer hardware and software in an engineering design environment. Computer-aided Design systems will be used to create and manipulate 2D CAD drawings and 3D solid models. In addition, CAD drawing data will be linked to other applications such as data processing or CNC machining systems.

Coursework includes the study of technical drafting and design theory, computer hardware and operating systems, engineering document management, 2D and 3D computer-aided design, solid modeling, computer-aided manufacturing, rendering.
