Program Overview

Drafting is a vital skill in our increasingly technological society. The SUNY Niagara certificate program has placed 100 percent of its job-seeking graduates in related areas of employment for over 40 years. The implementation of computer-aided drafting and design (CADD) has greatly enhanced career opportunities.

Persons with the ability to use CADD, coupled with the appropriate technical theory and application, will be able to pursue a career with greater potential concentrating in design rather than basic drafting or as a CADD operator.

Program Goals and Objectives

  • Developing the sense of responsibility and self-discipline required to compete in the workplace.
  • Fostering the ability to use creative decision-making and problem-solving skills as part of the design process.
  • Learning the fundamental principles of drafting to help the student develop the tools and skills required to compete in the workplace.
