A note from the instructor:

"If you have any aspirations of joining the elite field of architecture, civil, or manufacturing design, CAD is where it all begins.  It is the true “pre” in each of those fields.  CAD will build the foundation of your career by developing the skills you will use throughout your entire career no matter what design field you enter.  Without proficient CAD skills you will not make it in ANY of these industries.  So, whether your intent is to start a career in drafting & design or continue on to higher education in architecture, engineering, or manufacturing design, your CAD skills, hands down, will be one of the most integral parts of your success.”  – Russ Powers, M.Ed
