Why choose OCC?
There are many reasons to choose OCC for a computer-aided design or computer-aided engineering associate degree. First, according to Professor Tahir Khan, OCC department chairman for Applied and Engineering Technologies, are the unique program options, such as computer aided engineering (including courses on kinematics and finite element modeling more typically found in graduate level programs) and vehicle design (including courses on 3D wire frame design and surfacing, as well as on manufacturing and fabrication processes). Second, Professor Khan says, is that “no program besides OCCs provides students with such an extensive and comprehensive array of advanced design software (including CATIA, Unigraphics and AutoCAD) and hardware.” One of the newest additions to that hardware is a 3D printing and prototyping system that builds physical models made of resin from CAD data, and does it quickly and in full-color color. OCC is one of only a dozen educational institutions using this equipm
