CADD 101 Introduction to Computer-Aided Drafting and Design
This course introduces students to the Computer-Aided Design system. Students will learn how to adapt basic technical drafting and three-dimensional design techniques to computer-generated drawings of the various design disciplines. Students will receive hands-on training and will develop the techniques that are essential in today’s job market.
Hours Weekly
2 hours lecture, 2 hours lab
