Computer-Aided Drafting and Design
San Antonio College offers a Tech Prep Degree Program for computer-aided drafting (CAD) and design students who desire to enter the manufacturing or construction industries.
Graduates of this program will usually enter the field with the title of drafter, designer, or CAD operator. Advanced courses and well-equipped laboratories enable students to extend their theoretical and practical knowledge of various design disciplines. Upon satisfactory completion of this two-year program, the student is awarded an AAS Degree in CAD and Design Technology. This degree transfers in part or whole to several Baccalaureate Degree Programs. Information on transferability can be obtained from a department advisor.
Besides the two AAS Degrees in CAD and Design Technology, the program provides students with other options. A one-year CAD Operations Certificate is also available. In addition, there is an Enhanced Skills Certificate for work beyond the normal two-year degree point. A Marketable Skills Certificate in Autocad® is also available.
All programs have been designed in cooperation with an advisory committee of engineers and professional drafters and designers.
Credit transferable from high school includes: up to 12 semester credit hours for DFTG 1405 Technical Drafting, DFTG 2417 Descriptive Geometry, DFTG 1409 Basic Computer-Aided Drafting, or DFTG 1417 Architectural Drafting-Residential for students who have attained the appropriate competencies from an approved Tech Prep Degree Program high school.
