Computer-Aided Design

The Computer-Aided Design (CAD) program is designed to give students entry-level design skills in five areas. These are manufacturing, electronics, architecture, civil engineering, and geographic information systems.

Drawings are produced using sketching techniques and/or CAD software. Applications software used in this program includes Pro/ENGINEER® , AutoCAD® , ArcView GIS®, and Microsoft Office.
