Computer Aided Design/Drafting (CADD)
Computer Aided Design/Drafting I (CADD): 1 year - 2 credits
Prerequisite: Recommended but not required - Basic Drafting
CADD is a high tech computer approach to drafting that introduces individuals to the planning, preparation and interpretation of architectural and mechanical sketches. Students will be provided extensive experience involving both manual and computer problems. Emphasis will be on learning and applying the functions of the AutoCAD software program. The focus will be developing the student's skills and knowledge essential for employment as a CADD operator. This class meets the computer literacy requirement for graduation.
Computer Aided Design/Drafting II (CADD): 1 year - 2 credits
Prerequisite: Certificate of Completion from CADD I and instructor's recommendation
The second-year course is designed for the motivated student who wishes to further explore three-dimensional industry-related and cross-curriculum projects involving solid modeling, wire frame/surface construction and pattern development. Emphasis is placed on expanding the student's knowledge and skills involving the AutoCAD software as well as other CADD related programs. This class meets the computer literacy requirement for graduation.
Due to the Center's Tech Prep relationship with nearby community colleges, those students successfully completing this program may earn college credit for CADD skills learned at the Center. (See below)
