在该计划中，学生将学习在工程和设计工作场所管理计算机系统，以进行图纸生产，信息存储，检索和通信。随着他们发展计算机辅助绘图技术，他们将探索制造，机械，建筑工程和建筑应用。该程序的主要目的是为以前具有手动电路图起草经验并且已经具备技术图纸工作知识的个人提供计算机培训。但是，尽管不需要事先有技术经验，但是希望对工程制图领域进行基本介绍的个人可以通过本课程很好地服务于设计。学生可以通过使用指定的课程替代方案，选择在基本蓝图阅读和构造应用程序中重点关注的基本2D选项，或者在高级软件功能和机械/制造应用程序中重点关
In this program, students will learn to manage computer systems for drawing production, information storage, retrieval and communication in the engineering and design workplace. As they develop computer aided drafting skills, they will explore manufacturing, mechanical, and architectural engineering and construction applications. This program is intended, primarily, to serve as computer training for individuals who have previous experience as manual board drafters and who already possess a working knowledge of technical drawings. However, though there is no requirement of prior technical experience, individuals desiring an elementary introduction to the fields of engineering drafting, and design will be well served by this curriculum. Students may, through the use of specified course alternatives, choose to pursue a basic 2D option with added emphasis in elementary blueprint reading and construction applications, or a 3D parametric modeling option with emphasis on advanced software features and mechanical / manufacturing applications.
