"The Engineering Drafting/
Manufacturing Engineering Technology program is really well rounded. I will graduate from here well prepared for
the workforce."

Jameson Roose, Pella, Engineering Drafting/CAD student
   

If you are a detail-oriented person with good visualization and math skills,
you will be interested in the Engineering Drafting/CAD program at NCC.
As an Engineering Drafting/CAD student, you will learn to prepare detailed working drawings for the manufacturing industry.

The program provides extensive training in manual drafting, Computer-Aided drafting, and Parametric Modeling software. Emphasis is placed on CAD drawing techniques and solid product description methods as prescribed by ASME Y14.5-1994 Dimensioning and Tolerancing standards.
This program prides itself in using up-to-date Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) and Parametric Modeling software. Students will also gain valuable hands-on training with manual and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) manufacturing equipment. After completing this program, you will be able to translate design ideas, specifications, and calculations into the working drawings required by manufacturing to construct a
design product.

NCC is an Affiliate Member of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) and is involved in the SkillsUSA competitions.Our students have gained state and national recognition by participating in the SkillsUSA competitions on a yearly basis.

Graduating from Engineering Drafting/CAD prepares you to work as a drafting technician or to continue your education at NCC and obtain the Manufacturing Engineering Technology degree.

One semester of high school mechanical drafting is highly recommended. Two years of high school algebra are required as prerequisites for the math elective.
