Our Program
The Mechanical Technology: CAD Design A.A.S. program represents a blend of applied design theory with the most recent innovations in Computer-Aided
Design (CAD), Rapid Prototyping, Computer Numerical Control and traditional industrial
practices. Initial courses focus on topics common to all technical fields, including mathematics,
engineering graphics, machine tools, and basic electricity. Subsequent courses become
more specialized as students apply computer technology to problems related to machine
design and automation.
Graduates are prepared to use a CAD system for design, manufacture, and analysis; select materials, and design mechanical components and systems; perform technician assignments involving measurements, test equipment, data recording and analysis; communicate and understand technical terminology; use word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation software; and recognize and use project management techniques.
Should students decide to continue their education at the four-year college level, courses transfer for Bachelor of Science degrees in Mechanical Technology, Manufacturing Technology, and Manufacturing Engineering Technology.
