The need to attract more students into engineering is a national concern. The 2D Computer-Aided Drafting Certificate meets the need of individuals interested in a basic exposure to, and/or exploration of, using and applying 2D CAD. This opportunity prepares a student to use and/or pursue a career using CAD in numerous fields. NVCC’s Engineering Technologies programs prepare graduates to be engineering technicians who are able to respond to the changing demands of Connecticut’s “high tech” industries.
