Canberra Institute of Technology (CIT)
1 semester part-time
Develop professional 3D CAD modelling skills for engineering drafting roles. This course teaches you to create industry-standard 3D models and assemblies using computer-aided design systems in a simulated workplace environment.
You must have successfully completed the Statement of Attainment in 2D Engineering Drafting (SA-TS106) or already hold all three units of competency from that qualification (MEM30031, MEM30032, and MEM09229). A Unique Student Identifier (USI) is required to enrol in any CIT course. No prior formal qualifications beyond the 2D prerequisite are required, but basic computer literacy is assumed.
The course comprises three core units of competency: Create 3D Model Assemblies using CAD systems, which covers skills for creating 3D assemblies applicable across engineering disciplines including CAD, computer graphics, animation, and rapid prototyping; Create 3D Solid Models using CAD, which includes CAD software setup, manipulation, region and solid modelling techniques, section views, library files, property extraction, and rendering techniques; and Use CAD to Create and Display 3D Models, which focuses on producing and printing basic 3D view drawings using region and solid modelling techniques, section views, and pre-drawn library files.
CIT is a recognized Registered Training Organization (RTO 0101) with CRICOS accreditation, delivering industry-relevant qualifications that meet current engineering standards. The institute provides practical, workplace-focused training with experienced instructors, flexible study options, and strong connections to the engineering and manufacturing industries. CIT's commitment to updating qualifications to meet industry needs ensures graduates are equipped with current, marketable skills.
Graduates are well-positioned for roles as engineering draftspersons in manufacturing, engineering design, construction, and related technical fields. The 3D CAD skills are applicable across multiple engineering disciplines including mechanical, civil, and manufacturing engineering. Career progression opportunities include senior drafting roles, CAD technician positions, and advancement into engineering support or technical management roles. The qualification provides a foundation for further study in engineering-related qualifications.
