Program Information
The Engineering Design Technology program prepares students to work in a collaborative manner with design teams to translate ideas and solutions into 2-D CAD drawings and 3-D CAD models. Students develop skills and techniques by using modern software such as AutoCAD, Catia, and SolidWorks. Students will be creating 3D models using CAD software and from these computer-generated models, students use 3D printers to produce physical prototypes and industrial parts. Students will be using CAD software to create 2D engineering documentation such as shop drawings, P&IDs, and plant layouts. Graduates are typically employed as part of a design team by manufacturing, engineering, and mechanical companies.
The Engineering Design Technology program offers an associate degree.
Scheduling and Entry Options
Program courses are offered during the day beginning in the Fall semester of each year. Entry during any other term will be permitted but may limit the courses that are available. Full-time day students usually complete degree requirements in five terms. General Education course requirements can be completed at any time during the program. Courses can be completed in any order subject to the completion of course prerequisites.
