History of De Anza’s CAD Program The drafting program started in 1965 and merged with the Computer Aided Design program in 1983. During the last 22-year period the program has evolved continuously to meet the changing needs of the local Silicon Valley engineering and design firms. Over 10,000 students and professionals have been trained. The facilities at De Anza include two rooms in the ATC with 34 workstations each. Starting with Computervison (1983-1993) new CAD programs were added and removed as the needs of industry changed and design requirements evolved. Calma was taught off-campus (1986-1988), and CADAM was taught at Lockheed (1985-1987). AutoCAD was integrated into the program in 1987. Since 1994 the high-end CAD package offered is Pro/ENGINEER. In 1999 SolidWorks and Inventor were added to the program offerings. ImpactXoft was introduced through a grant from IX Design in 2000. In the fall of 2005, Unigraphics NX is being offered for the first time.

Digital Imaging at De Anza Basic and intermediate principles of using digital software to produce graphics for web sites. Introduction to digital imaging terminology and software. Courses produce Web pages using digital images and provide you with the skills and techniques to create and edit graphic and photographic images. These images can be used in a Web site or for printed documents, such as brochures, flyers, and other layouts.

 

NASA Foothill-De Anza Internship Program: The Foothill-De Anza Internship Program offers paid internships at NASA/Ames Research Center and Silicon Valley companies. CAD positions typically include CAD designers and drafters, and engineers.
