The Computer Aided Design with AutoCAD Certificate program consists of 4 basic courses and one elective. An optional practicum is available.

The practicum is a work experience where each student will be at various small and mid-sized engineering / design businesses within the lower mainland. The purpose of this time is to apply the theory and skills learned throughout the program and observe professionals in practical situations. As well students will acquire situation-specific skills and identify areas that may need to be developed further. Students receive feedback and evaluation of their performance and gain valuable contacts in this diverse field. Successful students will have employment opportunities in the Engineering industries where CAD skills are required. Further studies may be pursued in areas such as desktop publishing, graphics, interior design and general computing. Instruction in the latest computer aided design techniques and plenty of free lab time ensures that students will have the knowledge, skills, and competency to enter this labor force immediately upon graduation.
