Course summary
Computer graphics for engineering technology are emphasized in this program as students are prepared for a wide variety of occupations in design and drafting fields. While foundations in traditional drafting methods are included, the use of computers gives students the opportunity to participate in the paradigm shift into high-tech subjects such as 3D solid modeling. In addition to specialized CAD courses, related subjects are covered to give students the background they need to perform well in the workplace. Scientific and mathematical principles and theories serve as a basis for the research and development of products. Graduates are qualified to secure technical positions such as engineering technician, computer drafter, and designer in both mechanical and architectural fields.
