Vance-Granville Community College is now registering students for an upcoming class about Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD). The “AutoCAD” course will be held on Wednesday nights, Jan. 23 through May 1, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on VGCC’s Main Campus in Vance County.
The AutoCAD LT software is used in a variety of professions such as engineering, architecture, manufacturing and even landscaping and interior design. AutoCAD, the world’s number-one-selling two-dimensional drafting and detailing product, can streamline and simplify day-to-day tasks, thanks to tools built with the drafter in mind.
Students need a good working knowledge of computers in order to take the AutoCAD class, but they do not need drafting experience. Upon completion of the course, each student should be able to set up, draw, and print simple drawing exercises using various scales, viewports and layout techniques. Gilbert Blaylock will serve as instructor for the course.
The registration fee for this course is $120, with other college fees totaling $7. For one course per semester, registration fees are waived for N.C. resident seniors, ages 65 and above.
For more information and to register, call VGCC at (252) 738-3417 or 738-3324. Prospective students are advised that the college will be closed from Dec. 19, 2012 through Jan. 1, 2013.
