The Computer Aided Design courses at SFD have been designed to expose students -- who have demonstrated a mastery of core production and art skills -- to the virtual tools available through CAD software. These courses are also structured to encourage analytical thinking and utilize creative problem solving so that with minor modifications a designer can become acclimated to most systems used in the industry.
