About this program
The Design and Engineering Technology program prepares students for employment in a wide variety of engineering-related disciplines. Students are trained across multiple two- and three-dimensional software platforms to generate drawings of parts, assemblies and layouts, as well as other manufacturing and construction-related documentation specifically required by employers. The curriculum incorporates 3D printing, 3D scanning and rapid prototyping as tools for taking student designs from computer models to three-dimensional solids. Graduates of the program enter the workforce as mechanical drafters, designers and engineering technicians. This degree also allows students to continue their education in a baccalaureate program at participating four-year institutions.
Associate of Applied Science (AAS) - 60 credits
