University Diploma - Computer Aided Design and Drafting (Optional Co-op)

The Computer Aided Design & Drafting (CADD) program is designed to develop and enhance practical skills; increasing students' knowledge for a successful CADD career. Throughout the program students will design and draft various projects that are produced in digital and physical models. Students will obtain extensive experience utilizing AutoCAD and BIM softwares.

This program offers students two unique ways to approach their learning. First, students may choose from two specializations: • Architectural and Structural (Fall Admission Intake) • Architectural and Mechanical (Spring Admission Intake)

Second, the program offers students three options for their studies: • Diploma in Computer Aided Design and Drafting • Certificate in Computer Aided Design and Drafting • Citation in Computer Aided Design and Drafting

The Certificate, and Citation are embedded within the Diploma. They allow students who do not wish to pursue a diploma in CADD to have an optional exit point after two or one semester of coursework.

The Computer Aided Design and Drafting diploma is offered with a Co-operative Education option. Co-operative Education gives a student the opportunity to apply the skills gained during academic study in paid, practical work experience semesters. Students can complete one work semester while completing their diploma. Work terms generally occur full-time in separate 4 month work semesters. Work semesters alternate with academic study.
