The 3D CAD Engineering Technology program at MCC prepares students to enter the engineering, architectural, and manufacturing fields. Students in the program use the latest 3D CAD software to design 2D and 3D drawings, models, and parts for industry. Students receive hands on experience with the latest versions of AutoCAD, and Inventor. Courses include a variety of projects in computer-aided design, mechanical design, architectural design, and computer aided manufacturing. At the completion of the program, students have the opportunity to take the Autodesk Certified User exams in the leading-edge software AutoCAD, Inventor, and Revit. After graduation, students have the option to go to work or transfer to a university program to continue their education.
