Over fifteen weeks, this micro-credential introduces the principles of computer-aided design, using case studies and sample problems to work through the relevant conventions. Its main software tool is SOLIDWORKS, a design tool commonly used in industrial design. Participants take part in designing an original solution that is then fabricated using 3D printers.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The course page for this stand-alone micro-credential states only an academic prerequisite: Pre-calculus 12, or Capilano's own BMTH 054, or MATH 105, or a passing score on the Calculus Math Placement Test. The course description notes it is not intended for students already registered in Capilano's Engineering programs, since credit overlaps with APSC 130 and APSC 140. Applicants who completed their previous education in a language other than English must meet Capilano's general English-language proficiency requirement, published on the university's admission-requirements page: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6; TOEFL iBT 83 (or, from Spring 2027, 4.5 overall with no section below 4.0 on the redesigned scale); CAEL 70; PTE Academic 56; or Duolingo English Test 125+ with no sub-score below 115 (accepted on a temporary basis).
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic and international applicants both apply through EducationPlannerBC: the domestic application fee is $50 CAD and the international fee is $135 CAD, each covering up to two programmes. Capilano University publishes no university-wide application-opening or closing date for either group for the 2026-27 cycle; its how-to-apply pages instruct applicants to check the application and document deadlines on their chosen programme's own page, since every programme sets its own intake window there. Admission is effectively rolling at the institution level, governed programme by programme, with some programmes (for example the Health Care Assistant Certificate) publishing a fixed intake window that opens and closes months ahead of the start date. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
