Program Description:
 
Certificates are awarded to students completing the course pattern with a 2.0 QPA or higher. Courses may be taken in any sequence as long as the prerequisites are met. The CAD certificate program prepares students to work as computer-aided drafters/designers in industry and to upgrade the skills of persons presently employed as drafters in a relatively short academic period by including only CADD and supporting courses. Course work completed in the CADD certificate program is fully applicable to the CADD Associate of Applied Science degree.

The AutoCAD Operator certificate option prepares students for entry-level positions as AutoCAD operators, technicians, and detailers.
