Design Model Making and Rapid Prototyping
Industrial and commercial design is a valued part of many traditional and emerging industries, including architecture, product and packaging, media, and entertainment. IVC’s certificates are created in areas of emphasis for industrial, commercial and transportation design, and intended to prepare students with the skills necessary to design products and build models using both traditional and emerging technologies. Students will gain a unique insight into both the physical and digital disciplines of model making and design, cultivating technical and arts skills based on critical thinking.

Drafting Technology
Computer-aided design (CAD) is a rapidly growing segment of the technical job market. Students can obtain CAD certificates in mechanical, civil, electrical and architectural modeling techniques that conform to US and international industry standards. Students receive instruction on modern manufacturing methods, materials of construction, and inspection procedures. Using traditional as well as three-dimensional computer-based graphic modeling applications, laboratory assignments are designed to develop the skills that are required to produce, revise, test, animate, and interpret typical parts or assemblies.
