Computer-Aided Design

Your software suite

Part of our Product Development program, these courses cover all the software involved in designing an endless number of products, as well as the principles and processes that you’ll use along the way.

If you’re new to the field, you’ll begin with design basics, including:

• Descriptive geometry
• Orthographic projection
• Assembly
• Detail drawing

Then watch your skills unfold like the rotating object on the screen in front of you!

CATIA, SolidWorks, Siemens NX, PTC Creo, AutoCAD – you’ll master them all by the time you’ve finished our CAD courses. Or just take what you need to fill in the gaps in your current skills.  

And if you decide you want to become a product designer, the credits easily transfer so that you can earn the required bachelor’s degree.
