CADD Program Learning Outcomes

Program Learning Outcomes

A graduate of the CADD Certificate should be able to:

• Detail various mechanical types of parts by following the ASME Y14 standard as it relates to descriptive geometry, theory of projection, auxiliary views, and sectioning.
• Detail various mechanical types of parts by following the ASME Y14 Design/Drafting standard as it relates to dimensioning, tolerancing, and GD&T.
• Design products using parametric solid modeling software (Solid Edge) to create electronic files as well as printed/plotted sets of working drawings that conform to the ASME Y14 Design/Drafting standard.
• Detail complete sets of working drawings by following the ASME Y14 Design/Drafting standard for the development of detail/assembly drawings specific to industry needs: machining, forging, casting, welding, pneumatics and hydraulics, piping, sheet-metal developments.
• Demonstrate a working knowledge of electricity and electronics, and develop a complete set of working drawings as they relate to the electronics industry.
• Resource and use both electronic and printed manufacturing materials.

SUNY General Education Requirement

Students who intend to receive AA, AS, or baccalaureate degrees must satisfy SUNY and campus General Education (GE) requirements to graduate. Students should be aware that GE requirements may vary by academic program. Consult with your academic advisor for program-specific information; for general information: General Education 

AAS and AOS degree students may not be required to fulfill General Education (GE) requirements; however, any student who may wish to transfer should complete as many GE courses as possible. Consult with your academic advisor.

Technical Standards for Mechatronics Design Programs

The technical standards listed below are intended to inform students of the skills, abilities, and behavioral expectations required in this program. These technical standards reflect performance abilities and characteristics that are necessary to successfully complete the requirements of this program at SUNY Delhi. These standards are not conditions of admission to the program, but persons interested in applying for admission to the program should review this list to develop a better understanding of the skills, abilities, and behavioral expectations necessary to successfully complete the program. The College complies with the requirements and spirit of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; therefore, the College will endeavor to make reasonable accommodations for participants with disabilities who are otherwise qualified.
