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.
SCHEDULING
AND ENTRY OPTIONS
Program courses are offered during the day and evening.
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
