Engineering
Design/Tech Prep Program
 (66
semester credit hours)
An
Associate
of
Applied
Science degree program offered by the Technology and
Business Division.
The program in engineering
design is a four-semester course of study leading to an Associate in Applied
Science degree. Specialized
learning experiences include the implementation of computer-aided design
software in various design disciplines. Instruction
emphasizes the development of technical knowledge and drafting skills that are
essential to the successful entrance in the job market as a design technician.
Former
students have been employed as pipe designers, architectural designers, tool
designers, civil designers, structural detail designers, electrical designers,
and job estimators.
The
Engineering Design program provides work-place experiences recommended by the
U.S. Department of Labor Secretary's Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills
(SCANS).
Some upper level
universities will allow you to transfer anywhere from 24-44 hours of your
technical credit toward a Bachelor of Applied Arts or Science degree.
Contact your transfer university for information.
