Rapid technological change, particularly in the computer-based technologies, is influencing the nature of our industrial enterprises and the work that is undertaken in these enterprises. As a result, our industrial enterprises are becoming more globally competitive.

Students are able to specialise in computer aided drawing (CAD), using the industry standard in drafting software – “AutoCad”. Students learn 2D and 3D solid modelling techniques from a range of modern computer applications. Students receive tuition from an industry experienced training professional.

This subject gives students the skills and knowledge to pursue a career in architecture, drafting, graphic & industrial design, interior or landscape design.

The course also provides students with opportunities to study this focus area through an industry visit.
