Mechanical Engineering Technology/Drafting and Design

Drafting and Design, a concentration from the Mechanical Engineering Technology Degree, prepares graduates to draft and/or design machine parts, mechanisms, and mechanical systems. Computer-aided- drafting (CAD) will be emphasized as the primary method of producing drawings and documentation.
Coursework includes manual and computer-aided drafting equipment, materials, statics, manufacturing methods and processes, mathematics, physics, and written and oral communications. Students should acquire skill such as thinking and planning with the emphasis on drafting and design skills.
Graduates of this curriculum will qualify to work in many fields of drafting. Drafting and designs technicians are employed in manufacturing, research and development, engineering and service firms, government agencies, and related specialties.
