Program Purpose
The Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) Advanced Skill Set provides an opportunity for students to gain introductory/ intermediate level skills and knowledge in the area of Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) through the Drafting/Design program. A CAD Advanced Skill Set consists of five courses from the current AAS Drafting/Design Engineering Technology program and may serve as a stand-alone program. This CAD Advanced Skill Set Certificate could be used for entry-level employment or to further develop skills and knowledge related to a student’s current major.
Student Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the Advance Skill Set Certificate CAD Program, completers will be able to do the following:
- Use tools and technologies of the CAD draftsperson effectively
- Use a computer workstation to produce engineering drawings and manage engineering-related data
- Apply various drafting standards such as ANSI (American National Standards Institute) to various engineering drawings.
- Complete and edit drawings in the various disciplines
Opportunities
Some students find that the CAD certificate alone meets their educational and/or career needs. Other students choose to use the CAD certificate to explore potential choices for another major in a related field such as Graphics, Applied Design, or Interior Design. All CAD courses may be applied to the AAS degree in Drafting/Design Engineering Technology at Pierpont Community and Technical College.
