Engineering Technology/Mechanical Design, Associate in Applied Science

Curriculum ENT.ENT.AAS (C248V)

The Engineering Technology curriculum provides the learner with working knowledge of engineering technology, including basic and advanced drafting and design principles using various 2D and 3D CAD systems, integrating Lean principles in the design process and knowledge of working with various measurement devices used in determining Quality Assurance of prototypes and finished goods. While in the program, the learner will be able to seek out entry-level and internship opportunities in engineering departments, plant maintenance, production departments and technical sales and support.

PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES:

At the successful completion of the Associate in Applied Science Degree in Engineering Technology program, the graduate will be able to:

• identify quality improvement methods by developing your own process improvement action plans;
• develop product development plan for manufacturing a product;
• measure in metric and inches;
• read mechanical and electrical schematic blueprints;
• utilize CAD software in 2D/3D for part and assembly creation, in 1st and 3r Angle;
• demonstrate safety practices in the design and prototyping process; and
• present as part of a design team the ethics that should be practiced in designing a product.
