About this Course

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

The Computer-Aided Design (CAD) program provides students with career-based training in mechanical design using computer-aided drafting/design technology. To provide the necessary technical education base, the program also includes education and training in applied technical mathematics, engineering drawing, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing skills. Basic training in computer technology is included to prepare students for the two-dimensional, three-dimensional and solid-modeling computer-aided design technology in the program. CAD technology in the core of the certificate program is AutoCAD integrated with Pro/ENGINEER solid-modeling and rendering technology, both predominant technology leaders in CAD/solid-modeling.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Upon successful completion of all Computer-Aided Design certificate program requirements, graduates will:

• Interpret complex engineering drawings including geometric dimensioning and tolerancing.
  
• Perform competently in solving technical manufacturing and engineering mathematics problems.
  
• Exhibit competency in two-dimensional, three-dimensional and solid-modeling skills as applied to complex computer-aided design technology.
  
• Demonstrate an understanding of the role and function of computers and effectively use the computer to solve complex technical problems.
