Engineering Technology/Design Certificate

Curriculum ENT.DSN.CERT (C348B)

The Engineering Technology Design certificate curriculum provides the student with the fundamental courses applicable for an entry-level position working with design professionals within engineering departments, plant maintenance, production departments and technical sales and support. Designed to jump-start an education in engineering technology with first discussions on the concepts of Lean principles in the design process and knowledge in working with the various measurement devices used in determining quality assurance of prototypes and finished goods.

Contains coursework within the Engineering Technology AAS degree, a degree that gives graduates the education needed to fill technical positions in product design and development and transfers to four-year technology-related programs, including (but not limited to) the Illinois Institute of Technology, Illinois State University, Northern Illinois University and Purdue University/Calumet. These four-year programs further prepare you to move into leadership roles, such as industrial supervision, machine and tool designer, technical buyers, production expediters and cost estimators.

PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES:

At the successful completion of the Engineering Technology/Design Certificate, the graduate will be able to:

• measure product using inches and metric system of measurement;
• use electrical wiring diagrams and symbols to design a product;
• demonstrate safety practices in the design process;
• analyze a piece-part drawing and make an appropriate listing of operations to build the product; and
• present as part of a design team the ethics that should be practiced in designing a product.
