RCTC’s Computer Aided Drafting Technology (CAD) major is designed to prepare students for a technical career using Computer Aided Drafting tools and techniques. CAD drafters turn concepts, ideas, and rough sketches into mechanical prints then “prototypes” or finished parts can be fabricated, designed, or repaired. The curriculum primarily covers the mechanical disciplines of drafting and design. The CAD courses are taught in state-of-the-art facilities featuring the latest release of SolidWorks. Students not only have the opportunity to design, but also create hands-on projects in our prototype lab using a 3Dprinter, laser, and CNC router.
The CAD program is not accepting new students for Fall 2022. We are updating the program and will have a revised program starting in Fall 2023.
