Engineering and Design
The Engineering and Design program prepares students to become drafters. Drafters prepare drawings based on sketches, specifications, and calculations made by engineers, architects, and designers. These final drawings contain detailed views of an object, specifications for materials, and other information required to fully carry out the job. Students in this program use industry specific software to perform lab exercises such as AutoCAD®, Inventor®, Revit®, Solid Edge®, and ArcGIS®. Students also have the opportunity to prototype parts with large format printers, laser cutters and 3D printers. Students are required to participate in third party credentialing activities such as NOCTI as part of this curriculum.
*This program has a series of stackable short term certificates focused on specific skill sets an individual can earn as they progress toward an Associate degree or take in order to develop their skills in a particular area of demand.
