ENGINEERING GRAPHICS TECHNOLOGY

PROGRAM INFORMATION
This program prepares students to translate product ideas into engineering drawings and documentation using computer software. In addition, students will learn how to draw mechanical parts in three dimensions and use CAD/CAM software and equipment to produce parts. Instruction is included in software packages like Pro/E, Mastercam, Inventor, and AutoCAD. Graduates are typically employed as part of a design team by manufacturing, engineering, and mechanical companies. The Engineering Graphic Technology program offers the associate degree and one certificate option.

The Engineering Graphic Technology program offers the associate degree and one certificate option.

SCHEDULING AND ENTRY OPTIONS
