COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN AND DRAFTING TECHNOLOGY
Extended Degree Program - Associate in Applied Science
Machine Tool Option (CAD.MTO.AASX)
This Associate in Applied Science Degree program is designed to prepare students for entry-level positions in the field of computer aided design and drafting. The students will use the computer as a tool in engineering, analysis, design, drafting, machine tool, robotics, electrical, industrial technology and automotive body design technology. Students will learn the concepts and principles of computer aided design and drafting and gain skills in the operation of computer aided design terminals, programming principles and evaluation of software problems.
The students will apply knowledge of such systems, software configurations and design principles in solving increasingly complex design problems involving metals, plastics and composites.
The Machine Tool Option includes the principles and concepts of tool and fixture design and die design on a CAD system. The option also includes the study of the use and application of drafting practices and principles, manufacturing processes and computer aided design hardware and software. Emphasis will be placed on computer aided drafting and production.
Upon completion of the program, graduates will be prepared for employment in engineering and manufacturing design industries using computers for
drafting and design applications.
