The Mechanical Design certificate program introduces students to computer-aided drafting and design (CAD) and solid modeling. Students will also explore the design of mechanisms using CAD and solid modeling. Coursework includes computer-aided drafting and design (using AutoCAD), solid modeling (using SolidWorks) and mechanisms.

The Mechanical Design certificate program cannot be completed in a single semester because students must complete a two-course sequence in computer-aided drafting and design.
