Computer Aided Design and Drafting - Los Angeles ORT College - Los Angeles Campus

Computer Aided Design and Drafting from Los Angeles ORT College - Los Angeles Campus is a Campus Certificate Architectural Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Program Objective The CADD Program of the institute is designed to prepare students in computer aided drafting to become proficient entry level CADD operators using the AutoCAD program. The program covers all of the corresponding 2D CADD functions for traditional drafting, as well as advanced 3D modeling now made available by CADD. The CADD application has become a powerful addition to, and sometimes replacement for, traditional manual drafting in a large proportion of professional offices using technical graphics. Opportunities While growth is expected to be greatest for mechanical, architectural, and civil drafters, demand for particular drafting specialities varies throughout the country because employment usually is contingent on the needs of local industry. Employment of drafters remains highly concentrated in industries that are sensitive to cyclical changes in the economy, primarily manufacturing industries. Career Outlook Most drafters now use CADD systems to prepare drawings. Consequently, some drafters may be referred to as CADD operators. CADD systems employ computers to create and store drawings electronically that can then be viewed, printed, or programmed directly into automated manufacturing systems. These systems also permit drafters to quickly prepare variations of a design . Although drafters use CADD extensively, it is only a tool.
