What You'll Learn

Key competencies developed through this program

Auto-populated·from NSX Competency Framework

Mastery: emerging (Level 1)(based on Short-Term Certificate)

  • CAD software basics — navigate and execute fundamental drawing commands under direct supervision in a mechanical drafting environment.
  • Orthographic and schematic views — reproduce standard multi-view layouts from engineer-provided sketches on assigned drafting projects.
  • Blueprint reading — interpret title blocks, dimension lines, and tolerances under guidance on entry-level mechanical drawings.
  • Material dimensions — verify measurements of specified components and apply part numbering conventions following established checklists.
  • Design specifications — read and summarize written engineering requirements and related data under supervisor direction.
  • Mathematical formulas — perform basic geometric and arithmetic calculations to support component dimensioning using CAD tools.
  • Drawing revisions — apply marked-up corrections to existing mechanical drawings following redline instructions from senior drafters.
  • 3D modeling fundamentals — construct simple solid models of individual parts using CAD software with step-by-step guidance.
  • Standard drafting conventions — apply ASME Y14.5 GD&T symbols and line types correctly under close oversight on mechanical drawings.
  • Document management software — file, retrieve, and version-control drawing files according to departmental procedures in a supervised setting.
