Computer Aided Design Technology

About

The mission of the Computer Aided Design Technology Program is to provide competency-based training of the highest quality through traditional instructional delivery systems that will qualify individuals for employment in the drafting field.

The Computer Aided Design Technology Program emphasizes a combination of theory and practical applications that are necessary for successful employment. Practically everything that is built requires a plan. Whether it is a part of a car, machine tools, or a house, the object requires working drawings for the builder, machinist, or engineer. The drafter plays a key role in translating the ideas of engineers/designers to paper through the use of computer-aided design programs.

During the trimester, student requests will be responded to within a 24-hour period.

Schedule: Monday - Thursday 3:30 PM to 9:30 PM (20 months)
