De Anza College's CDI program
As we come to the end of the Spring term and also to the end of the existing CDI program certificates we wish to again notify you as to the reorganization of CDI and its future. Some exciting new AS degrees are being considered using the classes listed under the CAD- Mechanical Design Certificate and in conjunction with the MCNC and ART departments:
  • Industrial and Product Design AS degree
  • Design and Manufacturing AS Degree.
We will keep you informed as to the status of these two new degrees, Normally it will take 1-2 years for curriculum to approve a new AS degree. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you have past certificate needs contact me. I will meet with you personally or through emails ([email protected]). Petitions can be used to substitute a class for a missing one if not offered. At the bottom of this email you will find an extensive assortment of De Anza, Foothill, West Valley, and Evergreen Valley classes in ACAD, Inventor, SolidWorks, REVIT, Architecture, Manufacturing, Engineering, and Drafting that can be used as replacements for CDI classes that are no longer available. West Valley has a complete program in architecture and multiple classes in REVIT and ACAD. The other colleges have multiple classes in SolidWorks and ACAD. We look forward to the new program and degrees.
