Students studying CAD acquire an understanding of engineering design and learn how to provide technical assistance in managing CAD systems. They learn to prepare technical drawings for a variety of manufacturers including those in the machining, electronics, and woodworking fields. They also learn to produce drawings from concept sketches, design information, and specifications for production by builders and manufacturers. The programs enable students to acquire math and management skills, 3D graphics, rendering, and animation. They also enable students to acquire advanced technical writing skills, math and physics skills, and to acquire technical skills in document control, web portfolio, and CAD customization.
Among other skills, initial CAD studies give students the tools to create, edit, manipulate, analyze, manage, and plot the production of two-dimensional drawings for mechanical and architectural applications. Further CAD studies expand the use of drawing and editing tools, introduces practical applications, and introduces three-dimensional concepts.
Students who choose to specialize in architectural CAD learn to prepare sets of drawings to graphically convey design and dimensional information to meet the qualifications for a building permit in residential, commercial, and institutional applications. Those who choose to specialize in structural CAD learn to prepare sets of drawings to graphically convey design and dimensional information for concrete, steel and timber structures, site preparation, and precast concrete.
