Computer Aided Design (CAD) Schools prepare
students for employment as entry-level technicians.
Most programs teach students how to create sets of drawings
that provide the information necessary to construct and assemble
mechanical parts and buildings by using computer simulations
and functional models. Thus, students in computer aided design
programs are taught to understand the design process.
This is typically a semester to year long program, and is
transferable towards earning your Associate degree at most
schools.
Some computer aided design
programs, like the ITT Technical Institute computer drafting
and design program, provide CAD curriculum designed to help
students enter the workplace as a versatile desginer able
to make basic design decisions and capable of meeting the
challenges of future technological advances in the drafting
and computer-aided design profession. Graduates from computer
aided design programs like these may begin their careers in
a variety of entry-level positions in various fields involving
drafting and design, some of which include mechanical drafting,
architectural design and civil drafting, interior design,
illustration & computer aided design detailing.
