Engineering and Architectural AutoCAD

Certificate Program

AutoCAD has become an indispensable tool for engineers, architects, and designers. This certificate program will bring you up to speed in AutoCAD 2023, the premiere computer-aided drafting package.

This comprehensive certificate program is an excellent way to learn AutoCAD and emphasizes hands-on, project-oriented learning, which translates into useful CAD learning for employment and/or re-training. Students are encouraged to select an actual real-world project from their place of employment, or one they would like to complete from their own personal choice. This project will be used as a foundation from which you will learn all of the AutoCAD skills to complete the project by the end of the program.

4.2 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be provided upon request as a permanent record of one's attendance, if requested by the last class meeting.
