3-D Design, CSC

Purpose

Classes offered in the 3-D Design Technology program will introduce you to design techniques that will prepare you to work in engineering technology fields. All of the courses taken are in the Computer-Aided Drafting and Design Technology curriculum. Students will take courses in related areas only. MECC utilizes CADD operations extensively. 3-D software programs are available and used extensively. These programs are the most widely used in industry in our service area. 3-D Design classes are available to day and evening students.
