AutoCAD Professor at Joliet Junior College

I am a Professor in the field of Computer Aided Drafting (CAD). holding a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Industrial Engineering Technology from Southern Illinois University, an Associate in Science degree in Mechanical Design Technology from Joliet Junior College, and two design & drafting certifications in the Electro-Mechanical and Printed Circuit Board Technologies from Hall Institute in Pawtucket, Rhode Island.
I have been teaching AutoCAD classes at the collegiate level for over 30 years. Serving as the CAD Program Coordinator for Joliet Junior College in Joliet, Illinois, the program’s student advisor, and the hardware and software of the CAD program’s physical plant. The drafting program is comprised of 75 CAD Workstations
My program curriculum includes learning outcomes for both 2D & 3D modeling degrees. The course work is designed for incoming freshmen and folks returning to the market place after parenting, career change, or injury rehabilitation. The program involves 80 classes of instruction which result in an Associate in Science degree in Computer Aided Design & Drafting.
As an Instructor & tutor of the AutoCAD software program I guide beginners through appropriate use of the software to create “to scale” real-world drawings. Drawings developed are in compliance with the American National Standards Institute’s ( ANSI) Y14 drafting standards and guidelines. 3D design modeling, including 3D printing, scan-based “point cloud” techniques, publishing, and high-level menu system automation round out his skill set.
I am also the owner of a consulting and drafting services company in the state of Illinois. The company provides AutoCAD training, menu system customization, consulting, and drafting services to local engineering firms.
