The Certificate in AI-Powered CAD, 3D Design & Visualization – Foundation is a three-month introductory program designed to develop practical skills in Computer-Aided Design, technical drawing, 2D drafting, basic 3D modeling, visualization, and Artificial Intelligence-assisted design workflows.

The program introduces learners to the fundamentals of CAD software, drawing standards, geometric construction, dimensions, layers, annotations, technical documentation, and basic 3D modeling, providing a strong foundation for further study in CAD, 3D design, engineering graphics, architecture, interior design, manufacturing, and visualization.

Learners will also be introduced to AI-powered design assistance, including the use of AI tools for design ideation, reference generation, visualization concepts, documentation support, and improving design workflows.

Through practical exercises and guided projects, learners will develop the ability to create basic technical drawings, structured CAD models, simple 3D objects, and visual presentations while understanding how digital design tools are used in professional environments.
