ENGINEERING AND INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY: COMPUTER AIDED DRAFTING AND DESIGN TECHNOLOGY (CADD)

Associate of Applied Science Degree: Computer Aided Drafting and Design Technology
Specialization: Architectural Drafting and Design (729.01)

The associate’s degree prepares students for employment as an advanced CADD drafter or designer for an architectural or civil engineering firm. Under a formal articulation agreement with Old Dominion University (ODU), and with appropriate course substitutions, students may transfer coursework into a related baccalaureate degree program. Students interested in transferring should see a TCC counselor or advisor early in their academic plan and consult ODU’s catalog, transfer guide, and website for additional information.

The architectural drafting specialization is offered at the Virginia Beach campus.
