Computer Aided Design and Drafting Technology - CAD Product Design Option (CAD.PDO.AAS)
Engineering/Manufacturing and Industrial TechnologyAssociate in Applied Science
Engineering/Manufacturing and Industrial Technology
Auburn Hills Campus
This program leads to an associate in applied science degree with a specialization in CAD Product Design. Program graduates are encouraged to transfer to one of OCC’s four-year university partners and continue their education in Engineering Technology; however, graduates are prepared for occupations and careers in manufacturing industries. Reverse engineering and rapid prototyping further enhance the learning experience.
The Product Design option focuses on the foundation in utilizing the computer as a tool in engineering analysis, design, machine tool, robotics, industrial technology, and manufacturing systems. Students will apply knowledge of systems, software configurations and design principles in solving increasingly complex product design problems involving various manufacturing materials.
High school graduates who completed state-approved career and technical education (CTE) programs may be eligible to receive college credit for work completed while in high school. Detailed information can be obtained by contacting an OCC Counseling Office or by visiting www.oaklandcc.edu/articulation.
