Architectural Design and

Building Construction

 


AutoCAD Certificate Program - CCC.ADCT.CAD 

The CAD Certificate program educates students in the use and application of industry standard AutoCad 2010 software for the preparation of standard construction documents.  Students learn how to create scaled plans, elevation, sections and detail drawings.  The course framework covers mechanical, electrical and architectural drawing formats.  Included within the certificate program are technical courses covering basic construction materials, written specifications and building systems.  Both residential and commercial size projects are studied.  A manual drafting course is included to better prepare the student for computer aided drafting using CAD software.

 


CCC.ADCT.CAD Technical Course Content and Sequence

The recommended sequence of courses is listed below.  The scheduling of classes allows a new student to enroll in either the Fall or Spring term and to complete their certificate in the subsequent Spring or Summer Term.
