Program Description
As a Computer Aided Drafting/Design
(CADD) student, you will be challenged to convert the ideas and
specifications of the engineer and/or architect into working drawings
by utilizing both manual sketching and parametric solid modeling
methods that meet ANSI (American National Standards Institute)
and/or AIA (American
Institute of Architects) drafting standards. You will be trained
with some of the most challenging and expanding software and equipment
in the CADD industry. Emphasis will be in one of the following
disciplines: architectural, mechanical, or civil, along with
corresponding Computer Graphics. This program prepares the student
for an exciting career in a CADD field or for advancing to a college
or university to complete a higher degree.
The following programs are available:
General Computer-Aided Drafting/Design gives the student
a firm foundation in drafting standards, along with a basic understanding
of CADD software.
Architectural and Engineering Computer-Aided Drafting/Design
prepares students for entry-level occupations in at least two
of the following discipline areas: architectural, mechanical,
and civil.
