-Degree Requirements-
As we begin the twenty-first century, the design industry is looking for a new breed of workers. They must be computer-savvy self-starters who can speak and write well, dovetail effortlessly into various cross-functional teams, switch roles within a firm, or move across companies without a backward glance, and they must be fearless of the change spawned by emerging technology. In these courses, students will explore Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) and other specialized fields as they develop computer-aided drafting skills. They will learn to manage computer systems for drawing production, information storage, retrieval and communication in the electronic world.

This program is intended, primarily, to serve as computer training for individuals who have previous experience as manual "board" drafters and who already possess a working knowledge of technical drawings. The program schedule is designed to be able to be completed in one academic year (including one summer class) attending 2 evenings per week. During the introductory summer class TDD 225, students with prior drafting experience should apply to the DCCC Assessment Center to have previous drafting experience evaluated for credit by portfolio assessment against the course TCC 112 Technical Graphics/CAD.

Upon successful completion of this program, the student should be able to:
  • Create two- and three-dimensional technical design models and drawings to document solutions for defined customer problems.
  • Use CAD tools in applying the principles of descriptive geometry and the techniques of graphic construction to the process of documenting design intent.
  • Execute computer generated plane and 3D geometric forms, as well as object viewing techniques, to describe and present a design concept.
  • Apply CAD tools and techniques in the execution of working, multiview, assembly and 3D model drawings.
