Students at Westwood College receive architectural drafting and AutoCAD training that is focused on helping prepare them for a career in computer-aided drafting. AutoCAD courses are taught with the most recent releases of the program so students get relevant training.

Westwood College provides equipment that enhances students' drafting and AutoCAD courses. Each student's drafting station has a drafting table and chair. The CAD stations have a monitor, mouse and keyboard interfaced with a PC that is set up with the most recent release of AutoCAD. These workstations help to simulate a true work environment and will further prepare students for post-college jobs.

A Computer Aided Design/Architectural Drafting degree opens up a world of possibilities. Imagine yourself:

• Working outside
• Applying design theory to computer-aided renderings
• Working with a team to create recreational, business and residential spaces

In addition to instruction and practice on AutoCAD programs, students learn the theoretical background necessary to help put them ahead in their field. In order to enhance students’ learning of AutoCAD and help them prepare for a career, Westwood College’s program includes instruction in applied mathematics, communication skills and job search techniques.

Along with AutoCAD courses, students take classes like College Writing I, Success Strategies, Human Relations and Career Management. This supplements their drafting and AutoCAD training with everyday skills that can put them ahead in the workplace. It is important to gain more than just the training needed for the computer-aided drafting industry. These basic career skills combined with industry-standard training help Westwood College students achieve their career goals.
