Program Summary
This certificate provides a program of study with courses in CAD (computer aided drafting) and solid modeling needed to assist the engineering and drafting activities of industry, construction, architecture, and consultants in planning, designing, and detailing projects. Rapid Prototyping techniques, like 3D printing, woodworking, casting and molding, are taught throughout the solid modeling courses. This CAD Certificate is part of the Digital Design and Modeling Subplan of the 60-credit hour Associate in Science degree in Engineering Technology. Some of these courses can also be taken as electives in the Building Design and Construction Management AS degree program. Students new to this field will be able to obtain employment by completing this certificate and work in those areas where CAD technicians, drafters, and designers are needed.
