 Computer Aided Design (CAD) Curricular
Computer Aided Design (CAD)Earners of this microcredential will demonstrate an understanding of CAD, manufacturing, and tool design. This microcredential will be of interest to those planning a career in mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, product design, mechanical system design, or automation. Computer Aided Design (CAD) is one of the main skills required in the engineering field. Admission requirements for application:
For Non-matriculated students:
Requirements to achieve the microcredential:To achieve the Computer Aided Design (CAD) microcredential, participants will need to be enrolled at FSC and successfully complete a three-to-four course sequence with a B or better in each course. Participants are required to successfully complete the SOLIDWORKS Associate in Mechanical Design exam (CSWA certification) or to complete ARC 123 Graphics III. Students must complete the following courses:
Note: Students may seek Department Chair approval to override the prerequisites for ARC 123 and take MET 150 as a corequisite to take ARC 123. Stackable to:Manufacturing Engineering Technology, B.S.

Curriculum Summary The ability to obtain Microcredentials in specific manufacturing technical fields
displays two qualities to obtain future employment: Their grasp of technical applications
as well as their differentiating characteristics, such as drive, initiative, and obtaining
results.
 For employment candidates looking to break into the high paying technical job opportunities
that manufacturers on Long Island provide, having a Microcredential added as a part
of their training is one of the best ways to differentiate themselves from their peers
and get them noticed by hiring managers. It demonstrates initiative and focus on some
of the most important skills we would expect our top candidates to possess.
 [Microcredentials] are an excellent avenue for candidates that want to find a career
in manufacturing, as a machinist, programmer, or quality inspector, and then if they
choose to go on to get a degree they can. We have a tremendous need for candidates
and Microcredentials would definitely enhance the applicant’s qualifications and their
employability.
 Please note: MET 104: Computer Aided Drafting and Design can be used to replace MET 105L and 150.  Printed on 12/6/25
MET 105 MET 105L Technical Drawing and CAD Lab This is a laboratory course designed to provide students with hands-on experience in technical drawing and computer aided design (CAD). Students will apply traditional drafting techniques, such as ortho-graphic projection, dimensioning, and tolerancing, though 2D CAD software. Note: Student who have received credits for MET104 cannot receive credit for this course. ARC 121 Graphics II This course will introduce and develop computer-aided drawing skills used in the architectural, construction, and civil engineering fields. Students will prepare drawings for a small residential building using a computer drafting program such as AutoCAD Architecture. Students who take ARC 131 will not get credit for ARC 121/CON 121. Taking ARC 111/CON 111 and ARC 121/CON 121 is equivalent to taking ARC 131 for degree purposes. MET 101 Intro to Mech Eng Technology This is an introductory course in a computer programming language. Programs are specifically written to be used in the areas of statics, strength of materials, machine design, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics. Applications of the theoretical concepts are covered in the required laboratory. Corequisite(s): MET 101L MET 150 Solid Modeling This course introduces advanced topics in computer graphics. Students will learn 3D solid modeling based on parametric constraints, dimensions, and features such as extrude, revolve, sweep, loft, hole, fillet, and shell. The course also teaches students how to create assemblies and 2D technical drawings from 3D models. In the required laboratory course MET 150L, exercises will be assigned to the students for hands-on experience with related topics. Note: Student who have received credits for MET 104 cannot receive credit for this course. Prerequisite(s): MET 105L or ARC 121 Corequisite(s): MET 150L ARC 123 Graphics III This course furthers the development of computer drafting skills to prepare digital models and renderings for architectural project presentations. Specialized software such as Revit, a Building Information Modeling (BIM) software, will be utilized. Prerequisite(s): ARC 131 or ARC 111/CON 111 and ARC 121/CON 121 |
