Computer Aided Drafting and Design Technology

Computer Aided Drafting

Program Overview

The Computer-Aided Drafting and Design program (CADD) leads to the associate of applied science degree. The program is divided into four different options – architectural, digital, GIS/GPS mapping, and mechanical. Students will need to select an option and follow the outline for the program.

Students in this discipline use computers to understand, analyze, and create machine designs, while gaining competency in basic drafting and design skills. They will acquire skills in solid and parametric modeling using advanced computer-aided drafting and design techniques, including 2D and 3D design. Students may work toward an associate of applied science degree, a technical certificate, or a certificate of proficiency. Technical certification courses are designed to train entry-level CADD workers and may be applied toward the degree program. Course credit may also be received through testing or demonstrated proficiency.
