• The Design Engineering Technology (DET) program teaches you a broad range of technical skills that prepare you for a rewarding career in mechanical design.
  • The course work focuses on the use of computer-aided design (CAD) software to teach the engineering design process, principles of design for manufacturing, and creation of engineering drawings. As a student you will use CAD software as a tool for developing design solutions.  
  • A few areas you will study are:
    • 3D Computer-aided design (CAD) software: SOLIDWORKS, CREO, AutoCAD 
    • Manufacturing processes: 3D printing, milling/turning, CNC machining, injection molding
    • Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM)
    • Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T)
    • Engineering drawing creation
    • Prototyping and design/build projects
