CAD Internship
CAD291
Specialized off-campus, industry-based work experience that applies the knowledge and skills developed during Engineering Drafting and Design Technology. The experience also provides a functional understanding of the work environment, hones interpersonal and technical communication skills, and enhances social and civic competencies. Conducted in accordance with explicitly defined guidelines and procedures. This internship experience requires a minimum of 300 work experience hours, but may include more hours depending on the individual needs of the internship experience. In addition to work experience hours, students are also required to satisfactorily complete the internship experience through a final employer evaluation or assessment.
