Computer-Aided Drafting Certificate Program

Program Advisor:  Ron Greenier - 885-2380

This Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) one-year Certificate Program prepares students with modern skills in drafting. There is a strong concentration on computer applications in each drafting concentration. A unique feature of this certificate is that it pairs drafting with a technology such as: Architectural, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, or Industrial (Manufacturing, Mechanical). This provides a more meaningful education for the students. Students may complete this certificate and go to work as draftspersons or they may enter into an Associate Degree program of their choice.
