St. Petersburg College’s hands-on Computer Aided Design (CAD) workshop on Saturday, Nov. 16 was a huge success. Participants not only learned about CAD software and CAD classes offered at SPC, but they were also able to hear from SPC alumni who work in the industry.
“The certifications I received at SPC helped me move into a six figure position,” said Tom Donnelly, an SPC alum who spoke at the workshop. “Take advantage of these certifications, because they really do help.”
Sponsored by the Duke Energy Foundation, the workshop gave prospective students the opportunity to try out the CAD software and learn about practical applications for 3D printing.
One student commented, “[The CAD workshop] allowed me to realize the real-life application of the software and all the possible directions it could lead.”
SPC offers numerous certificates and degrees in Engineering, Manufacturing and Building Arts.
Certificates include:
- Computer-Aided Design and Drafting
- Engineering Technology Support
- Rapid Prototyping and Design
A.S. and A.A. degrees in Engineering Technology, Architecture and Engineering are also available at SPC.
As part of the Engineering and Energy grant from the Duke Energy Foundation, additional workshops will be offered in the spring to introduce students to opportunities in the energy industry.
