CAD technology is introduced at the very beginning of the curriculum and is used throughout the program for the completion of drawings and models.

The CAD Program at KCC emphasizes hands-on experience and utilizes state-of-the-art technology to prepare students for a 21st Century CAD career. KCC’s CAD lab incorporates the latest and greatest CAD technology including more than two dozen state-of-the-art, dual-monitor computer stations equipped with the latest industry software. Students will also have the opportunity to utilize the CAD lab’s 3D printer to see their drawings come to life. Most CAD class time at KCC is spent doing drawings and models, as we believe that a hands-on approach is important. At KCC, we use two of the most popular CAD software programs in industry, AutoCAD and SolidWorks, and our students are provided with free software to work on assignments off campus. All student drawings will be CAD-based, in both two- and three-dimensional formats, giving students the opportunity to experience a variety of drawing tasks.
