The objectives of the Civil Computer Aided Design Drafting Program are to develop the skills and understanding necessary to create technical drawings for the design and construction of a variety of civil engineering disciplines. An integral part of this curriculum is the use of computer aided design drafting software and related equipment.

Upon completion of this program, the graduate will be able to demonstrate the skills outlined in the Certificate in Drafting program; understand basic design principles through the use of physics, statics, strength of materials, and mathematics; develop engineering drawings with minimal supervision; develop mechanical designs utilizing manufacturing processes, power systems, equipment development and project management; and utilize a computer aided drafting system for technical drawing and design production.
