Program Description:

The Computer-Aided Design for Architecture and Engineering degree program is designed to prepare the student for an entry-level position in the mechanical, architectural, civil, structural, or other design-related industry. Students graduating with this degree may find employment under the guidance of engineers as CADD operators, engineering technicians, CADD drafters, and design assistants creating technical drawings for engineering applications.

Upon graduation with an A.A.S. degree in Computer-Aided Drafting and Design will be able to:

  1. Dimension and detail an architechtural drawing
  2. Generate production drawings from three dimensional CAD models utilizing two different CAD programs.
  3. Create CAD civil site drawings using two different CAD programs.
  4. Apply CAD management skills to handle CAD drawings in a paperless office.
