COMPUTER-AIDED DRAFTING AND
DESIGN TECHNOLOGY
Program of Studies Leading to the A.A.S. Degree
Computer-Aided Drafting and Design Technology is offered as a two year curriculum to
prepare students for employment as a technician in industry who will be able to make detail
and design drawings. This curriculum includes the basics in humanities, social sciences, applied
mathematics and physics, and appropriate technical courses.
The student will acquire a comprehensive understanding of the theory and skills in the
areas of computer-aided drafting (CAD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) so that
he/she is prepared for the “high-technology” methods employed by industry. Upon completion
of this curriculum, the graduate may enter employment as an industrial technician or
may pursue further studies leading to a bachelor of science degree in Mechanical Engineering
Technology. However, specific planning, involving the assistance of an advisor is recommended
in each case.
