Certificate of Accomplishment - Drafting with CAD
Catalog and Addendum 2009-2010
This certificate program is coursework which may lead to completion of higher unit certificates or an associate in science degree in the subject area.
Drafters make drawings and plans to specify dimensions, materials and processes used in the making of a final product. These drawings are guidelines for the workers who will actually build or make whatever is being produced. Drafters also make drawings from blueprints, engineering sketches, photos and other sources which show how parts and other objects work, their relation to one another, and how they will be put together.
Drafting work has many specialties, each with its own set of knowledge and skills and each applying to different fields. The five major specialties are: Architectural (see Architecture in the DVC catalog), Civil, Electrical and Electronic (see Electronics in the DVC catalog) and Mechanical. This program introduces students to the fields of mechanical or civil engineering drafting.
To earn a certificate of accomplishment, students must complete each of the required courses with a "C" grade or better. Some courses are not offered every semester so please consult with the program director for assistance in scheduling classes.
