Introduction

Computer-Aided Drafting and Design (CAD or CADD) technicians use special computer software programs to create drawings and sketches. They may draw objects ranging from simple parts to complex building designs or even small electronics components. Students graduating from the CAD program will have a working knowledge of project management, CAD customization, and CAD as it applies to the mechanical, architectural, and civil/structural fields. Drafting is a technical drawing. It is creating a drawing or graphical representation of a building, mechanical device, or other structure to aid in creating that device or structure. IVCC's CAD program uses state-of-the-art computers and the most current instructional software. Instruction revolves around the utilization of 2D CAD and Solid modelling software, including AutoCAD and Solidworks. Activities using 3D scanners and printers are incorporated in courses.
