COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN AND DRAFTING TECHNOLOGY

Associate in Applied Science

Tool & Die Design Option (CAD.MTO.AAS)

   This program option prepares students to use the computer as a tool in engineering, analysis, design, machine tool, robotics, industrial technology and manufacturing systems.

   Students will apply knowledge of systems, software configurations and design principles in solving increasingly complex design problems involving metals, plastics and composites.

   Reverse engineering and rapid prototyping further enhance the learning experience of students in this program.

   The Tool and Die Design option includes the principles and concepts of tool, fixture, and die design.

   Upon completion of this program, graduates will be prepared for employment in engineering and manufacturing design industries, or may transfer to a four-year institution. Please see an O CC counselor for details.

NOTE: Refer to current Schedule of Classes for software version(s).
