CAD / Architectural Drafting Computer Career Training

CADD Technology: Today's ever-growing world and new technology demands highly trained Computer Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) personnel. CADD operators are employed in fields such as architecture, manufacturing, construction, and engineering. CADD is now used in all phases of the design and manufacturing process. Autodesk by AutoCAD and Adobe Illustrator are just some of the cutting edge tools you will use in the CADD Technology program.

AutoCAD Drafting and Design: Drafters and designers prepare technical drawings and plans used by production and construction workers to build everything from manufactured products such as toys, toasters, and industrial machinery, to structures such as houses, office buildings and bridges. Everything has to be drawn first, and for this simple reason there will always be plenty of CAD related careers for people with the right skills.

CDM Institute offers a wide array of CAD programs, with everything from a short 85 hour AutoCAD course to an intensive four month, 500 hour CAD Industry Expert program. We also offer training on other Autodesk CAD products like Architectural Desktop, Land Desktop, and Inventor. We are an authorized Autodesk Training Center (ATC) - by training through CDM Institute you will receive certification directly from Autodesk.

Pennsylvania Institute of Technology - Media, Pennsylvania

Computer-Aided Design: The degree program in Computer-Aided Design Technology (CAD) was developed and organized for the students who are planning to begin their careers with CAD software immediately after graduation. Because of small classes, our students receive individual instruction, allowing this program to provide the comprehensive skills and knowledge necessary for the development of accurate computer-aided graphics, design and drafting applications. Major emphasis is placed on the use of several CAD applications such as AutoCAD, Architectural Desktop and Microstation coupled with graphic theory and the related fundamentals of technical design. This program will also equip the student to convert ideas and sketched drawings into orthographic projections, detailed drawings, floor plan assembly drawings and three-dimensional drawings. Among the positions available to graduates of the CAD Technology program are: CAD operator, CAD designer, CAD manager, CAD technician, CAD coordinator, design draftsperson, technical sales, and CAD instructor, or graduates may transfer appropriate credits to a four-year degree program.

Architectural / Civil Engineering: Building design and construction requires a professional who understands the total project and its unique conditions. The Architectural/Civil Engineering Technology (ACT) program will teach students the basic facets of this complex field. Students learn the field through courses in Architecture Design, Structural Design and Construction Technology. The curriculum also stresses Computer-Aided Design, materials and methods of construction, and building codes. Advanced courses present opportunities to solve complex technical problems. Mathematics, the physical and applied sciences, project management, and basic communication skills are fundamental elements in the program. Students will receive specialized knowledge in architectural design, structural design, or construction engineering. Graduates are qualified for career-entry positions in Architectural/Civil and Construction Engineering Technology, including architectural and structural designer or drafter, CAD operator, cost estimator, survey crew member and sales engineer. This program employs calculus which enables students who plan to transfer to a university degree program to continue to progress toward professional licensing.
