Computer-Aided Technology – Computer-Aided Design (Certificate)

This page as PDFView/Print

Certificate of Mastery

Minimum of 19 credit hours

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the tool designers, engineers, architects and other
skilled workers use to create 3D models and 2D construction and manufacturing drawings.
CAD technicians are in high demand in a number of different industries. And, you could
be, too, with a certificate of mastery in computer-aided design from Oklahoma City
Community College. Architectural firms, engineering firms, manufacturers, construction
companies, municipalities and government agencies are all relying on skilled CAD technicians
to keep up with the constant changes in technology. You could design planes, automobiles
or buildings with a computer-aided design certificate from OCCC. This is a fast-track
program if you’re looking to take just the core courses in computer-aided design or
if you’re a professional who would like to enhance your skills.
