Course Description
Certificate in Computer Aided Drawing (CAD) – Parametric Modelling
Atlantic Technological University
The engineering world is moving rapidly towards collaborative design, facilitated by Computer-Aided Engineering and Design software packages.
Three-dimensional parametric modelling is becoming an increasingly desirable skill for professionals or anyone who wants to work in a wide range of CAD industries.
Parametric modelling is a software tool used in all stages of the design process, from concept to the completion of manufacturing drawing and/or photorealistic images.
The aim of this programme is to develop candidates’ CAD – Parametric Modelling skills.
The programme will allow candidates to gain employment as CAD technicians and allow other professionals to up-skill. In addition, it may inspire others into apprenticeships or directly into technical degrees.
Furthermore, additive manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing are ubiquitous, and the learners on the programme will use these technologies, which will help them envision better quality and/or customised products.
