Computer Aided Design and Engineering Technology - Product Design Option (CAD.PDO.AAS)

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. Rapid prototyping and co-op opportunities further enhance the learning experience.

The Product Design option focuses on Advanced Part Design for product development, modeling techniques, building parametric models, data organization, and design animation. This option also introduces procedures involved in tool & dies design. 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 oaklandcc.edu/articulation.
