Mechanical Design
and Drafting/CAD Department--Architectural CAD |
In Moraine Valley Community College's
Mechanical Design and Drafting/CAD programs, you can gain knowledge and skills
needed for a good-paying job in the industry, or you can prepare to transfer into a
technical degree program at a four-year college or university. Our training
programs are designed for individuals just beginning a career in the mechanical
design and drafting field, or those already working in the industry who need to
upgrade their skills.
Moraine Valley's Architectural CAD
certificate program allows you to focus your CAD knowledge and skills in the
architectural field. You'll learn the industry standards and practices for
drawing commercial and residential structures while working on the most current
computer and graphics software in our state-of-the-art computer labs.
CAD designers in the architectural field work with architects in designing
residential and commercial buildings and may prepare floor plans,
electrical/HVAC plans, elevations and other related drawings. As more companies
move toward designing buildings entirely on computer using CAD software, the
prospect for finding employment will continue to grow. Established architects
can update their skills and stay current with the latest technology in this
program.
The instructors
in the Architectural CAD program have extensive experience, so what you're
learning in the classroom reflects skills that are needed in the industry. Employers
looking for CAD technicians regularly contact Moraine Valley because they know
the program is continually upgraded and modified to keep pace with changing trends and
issues in today's workplace.
