Division of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics

Designers translate the ideas, sketches, and specifications of engineers into workable plans and models. Students develop skills and techniques by using the most modern equipment and software, such as AutoCAD®, AutoDesk Revit®, PTC Creo®, SolidWorks®, and MS Project®. Instruction is given in mechanical, electrical, electromechanical, architectural, and multimedia design. Students will use the acquired computer and manual drafting skills from various courses to complete projects in the areas of their interest. Graduates may seek positions as detailers/designers/schedulers.

Upon successful completion, the Associate in Science Degree in Engineering Design is awarded.
