Many graduates also find employment with small, engineering-related companies. The Associate in Applied Science degree program in Computer-Aided Drafting and Design is for students who plan to transfer to bachelor's degree programs in the field. There's a second A.A.S. program available to Delhi students as well. This program combines one year of concentrated Computer-Aided Drafting and Design studies with a second year of liberal arts and technical courses and leads to an A.A.S. degree in Individual Studies. Delhi also offers one-year certificate programs that prepare students for immediate employment in the drafting field.
All students take the same curriculum during the first year.
This common core allows students to easily switch between options within the Computer-Aided Drafting and Design program without losing credit. Detail drafting and design are also emphasized, along with an introduction to manufacturing processes. Students prepare industry-quality drawings, assemblies and subassemblies, pictorial drawings, and symbology drawings during this portion of the program. For students pursuing an A.O.S. degree, the second year of the program offers specialized instruction in electro-mechanical drafting. It is designed to complement the first-year program while preparing students for work in this highly technical field.
