The Computer Drafting and Design Emphasis of the Associate of Science Degree in Computer Information Science is comprised of a combination of courses in the general education, business, and computer science areas. These courses provide the necessary information to prepare a student for a career as an entry level CAD operator.
Occupation Outlook
According to the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupation Outlook Handbook, industrial growth and increasingly complex design problems associated with new products and manufacturing processes will increase the demand for drafting services. Further, drafters are beginning to break out of the traditional drafting role and increasingly do work once solely performed by engineers and architects, thus also increasing demand for drafters.
