About CAD-Design and Engineering Technology

In this program, you will learn how to use CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software to create detailed drawings and 3D models. These designs are used to build everything from cars and airplanes to homes and bridges.

Students learn about engineering technology, which helps turn ideas into real things. This includes learning how things work, how to make them stronger, and how to fix problems.

In this program, students:

  • Use computers to design real-world projects

  • Work on hands-on activities and team projects

  • Learn how to read blueprints and technical drawings

  • Get ready for jobs in design, manufacturing, and engineering

This program has been discontinued as of June 2025.
