Computer Aided Mechanical Drafting and Design

Computer Aided Mechanical Drafting and Design involves the 2D and 3D drafting and modeling of mechanical systems and components in accordance with national and international drafting standards. Students will explore 3D solid modeling, mechanism animation, and the creation of 2D and 3D schematics of machinery, equipment, and industrial systems. Software packages include Autodesk’s AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and Autodesk Inventor. Students could also gain experience with our 3D printers and our CNC machines. Additionally, the CME.CA certificate is a career ladder program and all the program credits can be applied toward completion of the CAD.AAS degree.
