 Return to: Degrees and Programs (Graduate and Undergraduate)
Computer aided design is a significant technology in all areas of product development and manufacturing design. In today’s hi-tech environment, CADD is integrated with 3D parametric modeling, computer aided machining (CAM), and additive manufacturing to revolutionize the production process through rapid prototyping, rapid tooling, and rapid manufacturing.
Shawnee State’s CADD program uses industry standard hardware and software in all classes.

Technical Electives
Technical electives can be selected from the variety of courses offered through Engineering Technologies and should be coordinated with the student’s academic advisor. With the exception of ETCA1101, ETCA1201, and ETCA 1301, which are required CADD courses, technical electives may be selected from the Career eXploration (CX) courses listed below:
CADD Career eXploration (CX)
Engineering Technologies are designating several courses as Career eXploration (CX) courses to provide opportunities for undecided students to actively explore other majors within Engineering Technologies. All courses are instructed in the classroom/lab environment - none of on-line courses are included in the (CX) designation. Should a student decide upon an Engineering Technology major, these courses would be applicable to his or her degree. Should the student decide upon a non-engineering technology major, these courses could count toward his or her eventual degree as elective courses. The intro-level Engineering Technology courses designated as (CX) are:
- ETCA 1101 Engineering Drawing 1. No pre- or co-requisite. (CADD)
- ETCA 1201 Introduction to CADD. Co-requisite ETCA 1101. (CADD)
- ETCA 1301 3-D Parametric Modeling. No pre- or co-requisite. (General Engineering Technology)
- ETCO 1115 Computer Programming for Technology. No pre- or co-requisite. (Computer Engineering Technology and Digital Simulation and Gaming Engineering Technology computer programming)
- ETCO 1120 Intro to STEM Computer Programming. Co-requisite MATH 1020. (Computer Engineering Technology and Digital Simulation and Gaming Engineering Technology computer programming)
- ETEM 1510 Intro to Electricity/Electronics. Co-requisite MATH 1020. (Electromechanical Engineering Technology and Computer Engineering Technology hardware component)
- ETPL 1100 Plastics Manufacturing. No pre- or co-requisite. (Plastics Engineering Technology)
- ETPL 1120 Software Tools for Technology. No pre- or co-requisite. (General and Plastics Engineering Technology)
- ETEV 1110 Intro to Environmental Engineering Technology. Co-requisite MATH 1020 (Environmental Engineering Technology)
