The college received a letter of support from Florenz Design Studio for the CAD program that also indicated they would provide work-based learning opportunities to interested students. COA plans to retire its Mechanical Engineering and Architectural Technology programs in favor of the CAD program based on suggestions from industry input. The CAD program would provide graduates with skills that are considered suitable across diverse industry sectors such as construction, engineering, and manufacturing, while including emergent industries such as those associated with additive manufacturing (e.g., 3D printing). SBCC 05/15/2015

18 Attachment PROG 10C The college surveyed 432 traditional COA students, local high school students, and potential new students, to determine their interest in the CAD program. Forty students indicated that they were very interested in the program. The principal of First Flight High School submitted a letter of support for the CAD program, indicating that his team of counselors believed that the new program would be a strong pathway for students who would likely find the CAD coursework engaging. In addition to traditional job opportunities, it is noted that a career in CAD is especially suitable for self-employment. III.
