Associate in Applied Science Degree
Mechanical Engineering Technology

This program is designed to give students training and education in the field of mechanical design. Emphasis on computer aided design and automated manufacturing techniques is included in this program.

This 67-69 credit-hour program includes courses in design, drafting, materials, mechanics and related areas of study. A general education component is included.

Graduates of this program could accept positions as mechanical designers, mechanical drafters, CAD operators or designers, mechanical engineering technicians, tool designers or sales engineers.

Students completing this program may continue their education by pursuing a bachelor of science in technology degree with a major in mechanical engineering or individual design technology.

All courses in this program are regularly offered at night to meet the needs of those wishing to pursue training while working in local industry.

Students wishing to study in this field should consult with a Student Development faculty member or a teaching faculty member in this department when planning their schedule.
