Engineering Graphics Technologies, Mechanical Design Concentration, AAS

CIP 150805 (ETMC)

The Engineering Graphics Technologies degree allows the student to study mechanical technologies as their area of design study. This program also contains an in-depth emphasis in computer aided design (CAD) including two and three-dimensional design, visualization, customization, and programming. Mechanical design students will be introduced to parametric modeling design, geometric tolerancing (GD and T), materials, and manufacturing processes. Students will also create physical models with 3D plotting and laser cutting/engraving equipment. This program prepares the student for a variety of employment opportunities that include Draftsperson, Junior Designer, and Computer Aided Design Technician.
