The advent of computer aided design is one of the most significant developments in the drafting area. Not only has CADD revolutionized the way in which drawings are produced, but when coupled with computer aided machining (CAM), the entire manufacturing process is bound together and integrated.

Shawnee State’s CADD department uses industry standard hardware and software in all classes.

Unless otherwise stated, all classes utilize the latest release of AutoCAD® and Autodesk products.

Students graduating from the program expect occupations as, for example, CADD operators, draftspersons, engineering designers, detailers, and technical illustrators.
