Porter and Chester Institute Highlights a Career in CADD in its Most Recent Infographic
Rocky Hill, CT (PRWEB) April 21, 2015 -- Porter and Chester Institute has highlighted a drafting career in a new Computer Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) infographic. The easy-to-follow infographic asks: “Are you ready for a career in CADD?” and then outlines what those considering the profession might expect to find.
Explaining that CADD is used to design and plan a wide range of buildings, products, systems and structures, the infographic notes that tiny microchips and huge skyscrapers both start as plans on someone’s computer. Then, “Drafting and Design –are you ready for a career in CADD?” outlines some of the responsibilities of the job, the software used, what CADD operators can expect to produce on their computers, and how their plans are used by everyone on a project.
One feature included in the infographic is a timeline of events related to the drafting profession that goes all the way back to the 1400s. It even notes that artists of the 16th century such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michaelangelo were also skilled architects and engineers who used their talents for drafting.
The infographic goes on to explain how someone might train to become a CADD professional, referencing the programs available at Porter and Chester Institute in Architectural and Civil CADD Technology or Mechanical and Electronic CADD Technology. Both programs teach students how to turn architectural or product manufacturing concepts and designs into computerized drawings and plans. Students learn to create 2D and 3D drawings that can be used by project team members to develop, modify and build structures and products. They also work with programs such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks and Revit and are trained on the fundamentals of design, construction and manufacturing so they can apply theoretical knowledge to practical applications. CADD career training is available at all nine of the Porter and Chester Institute campuses in Connecticut and Massachusetts.
