This one-year program is designed to prepare the student for entry-level positions in computer-aided drafting/design. Courses in reading, writing and mathematics provide the basis for a traditional course in technical drawing using pencil, paper and instruments on a drawing board. The student learns the fundamentals of engineering graphics including orthographic projection, multiple-view layouts, section and auxiliary views, and dimensioning. These skills are then transferred to the computer and augmented by courses in manufacturing processes and computer-aided manufacturing. Program Outcomes: Upon successful completion of all program requirements, graduates will be able to: 1. Demonstrate team-oriented human skills that permit effective participation in multicultural work and social environments. 2. Demonstrate basic knowledge and understanding of engineering graphics and conventional 2-dimensional drafting practices such as orthographic and isometric projection, section, detail, auxiliary views, and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. 3. Demonstrate proficiency in the use of CADD software for 2-dimensional applications. 4. Produce finished engineering drawings suitable for use in manufacturing. 5. Organize activities and perform work in an efficient, accurate manner. 6. Apply knowledge of computer applications including word processing, spreadsheets, and other software related to CADD processes. View more details on Naugatuck Valley Community College .
