This qualification targets persons who are interested in pursuing a career path in Mechanical Engineering computer aided design (CAD) within the Mechanical Engineering Maintenance Industry. Mechanical engineering computer aided design (CAD) is the use of computer systems to assist in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of an engineering design. CAD output is often in the form of electronic files for print, manufacturing documentation, or other manufacturing processes. The CAD process and outputs are essential to successful solutions for engineering and manufacturing problems. CAD software helps us explore ideas, visualize concepts through photorealistic renderings and movies, and stimulates how a design project will perform in real world. This qualification plan is aligned to WorldSkills Occupational Standards and will also be used to equip learners to participate in WorldSkills competitions. Persons who complete this NVQ-J may explore career options such as Mechanical Drafter, Design Drafter and Computer Aided Design (CAD) Designer.
