Engineering Design Technology enhances CAD curriculum with Autodesk certification
Cerritos College’s Department of Engineering Design Technology is enhancing career
readiness by offering Autodesk Certified User (ACU) credentials starting Spring 2026
for students in ENGT 103: Introduction to Inventor and ENGT 138: AutoCAD. This initiative
bridges classroom learning and industry needs, equipping students with valuable certifications
for careers in CAD design, drafting, or engineering technology.
On May 13, the inaugural group saw nine students pass the ACU: Inventor exam on their first attempt. Professor Miodrag Micic praised the program for providing students with job-ready skills aligned with industry expectations.
By integrating Autodesk certification, Cerritos College emphasizes its commitment to preparing students for high-demand technical careers, boosting their competitive advantage in the workforce.
