Design and Engineering Technology

Technicians trained in Design and Engineering Technology at M State are in demand in a wide range of jobs related to manufacturing and engineering throughout the region. Students use multiple two- and three-dimensional software platforms to generate drawings of parts, assemblies and layouts and other manufacturing and construction-related documentation needed by employers. The curriculum uses 3D printing, 3D scanning and rapid prototyping for transforming student designs from computer models to three-dimensional solids.

Program options, both taught on the Moorhead campus, are a 66-credit AAS degree and a 60-credit diploma.

Here's what you'll learn

• Use of multiple software platforms to produce engineering drawings and documentation that conform to industry standards
• Use of designs, processes and materials used in various engineering and manufacturing disciplines
• Application of discipline-specific principles for creating functionally accurate and working designs
• Use of mathematical equations related to drafting and design
