SUNY Delhi Computer Aided Drafting and Design Majors Score 100 Percent Pass Rate on National Exam

DELHI, NY (07/06/2011)(readMedia)-- Every 2011 freshman in SUNY Delhi's Computer Aided Drafting and Design program who took the Certified Drafter National Exam achieved a 100 percent pass rate. This is the second consecutive year that SUNY Delhi students have achieved a perfect pass rate on the exam, which is administered through the American Design Drafting Association (ADDA).

A total of 14 Delhi students earned the distinction of ADDA Certified Drafters. The examination is administered each year at SUNY Delhi through the college's student ADDA chapter, giving Delhi graduates the opportunity to take the exam without traveling.

"Passing this certification test is a major advantage for our students who are seeking summer jobs or internships in the field. It proves that they have met a national standard in mechanical drafting," said Distinguished Professor Joseph Greenfield, Computer Aided Drafting and Design at SUNY Delhi. "It also gives the faculty a positive indicator that students have met their first year learning outcomes and are fully prepared to progress on to their second year."

The ADDA Drafter Certification Examination is open to all individuals, regardless of experience and formal education. Certification enables drafters to demonstrate professional capabilities and helps employers in identifying quality employees.

SUNY Delhi's Computer Aided Drafting and Design program prepares graduates for employment as a designer/drafter or serves as a stepping stone to other technical and managerial positions. Graduates may also transfer to a four-year bachelor's degree program in one of the engineering technologies or to a bachelor's degree program in industrial or technical education in preparation for a career as a technical teacher in public schools.
