Cert in Drafting/Design Engineering Technologies/Technicians

Drafting, design and manufacturing have become heavily computerized, and this certificate prepares students to compete for work in those industries. It focuses on the skills needed to become an engineering or architectural drafter. The focus is engineering and architectural drawing, design work and lifelike 3D modeling. Graduates act as the connection between design professionals and the people who detail and build their work. The certificate stacks fully into the CADD associate degree, so credits carry forward for those who continue. Many graduates take jobs as CADD operators or drafters, while others go on to finish the degree. Classes are small and virtual learning is offered. Students at Baltimore City Community College, a public college in Baltimore, Maryland, also complete the institution's shared general education coursework, which spans humanities, social science, natural science, mathematics, writing and computer skills.
