The Technical Design program is designed to provide skills and knowledge in a variety of computer aided design (CAD) software including CATIA version 5, Solid Works and AutoCAD. Skills learned in this program are taught using applied methods where training is practical and hands-on. Computer Aided Design is used in industry for a number of purposes and may be performed in the traditional two-dimensional world or in the more revealing three-dimensional world. For example, the floor layout of a manufacturing plant might be made from a bird's eye view perspective, which might be best served with a 2-D plan view. Or, the swing path of a curved door might be best modeled in 3-D so the opening and closing path can be viewed from many perspectives - to more clearly see potential interferences.
