Westwood is comprised of seven colleges including the School of Technology, School of Design, School of Business, School of Justice, School of Industrial Services, and School of Professional Studies.

Topics covered in the program include basic drafting, residential and commercial CAD design, residential and commercial construction documents, and 3D AutoCAD.

At the end of the program students should be prepared to sit for a variety of industry certification exams that make them more marketable to employers. Many graduates of the program take positions as architectural drafters, CAD drafters, structural drafters, and surveyors.
