Computer-Aided Drafting and Modeling, CSC

PURPOSE: Introduces students to the operations and applications of a typical computer-aided drafting system (CAD) and three dimensional modeling of design components. The program is structured to allow draftsmen and designers to update their software skills. Students may choose technical electives focusing on the following disciplines: architectural, civil or mechanical. The civil electives will prepare certificate holders to perform CAD and terrain modeling activities within a civil engineering or survey office. The architectural electives provide building information modeling (BIM) and parametric modeling. The mechanical electives provide students with skills in two dimensional drafting and parametric modeling of machine components.

By the completion of this program, students will be expected to demonstrate an introductory level of competency in the following skills:

1. Use computer-aided design software to produce accurate working drawings. 
2. Demonstrate skills in the use of file management.
3. Apply professional skills in one of three technical tracks:  architectural, civil terrain, or parametric modeling.

PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS AND SPECIAL CONDITIONS: Students must meet JTCC admission requirements. New students should visit the Advising Center and returning students their faculty advisor for more information.
