These fields include engineering, architecture, and manufacturing. The program emphasizes the universal language of software based modeling and simulation that is used in all nearly all modern technical fields . Students completing the degree will develop the skills needed to both interpret and produce technical drawings. Laboratory experiences include the modeling and optimization of real world parts, structures, and assemblies. These lab experiences refine the students’ abilities to interpret, analyze and transmit facts graphically according to industry standards. Courses in the major and recommended electives stress the development of basic skills in mathematics, graphical communication, and the general sciences.
The program is designed to prepare students for direct employment across wide array of drafting and computer-aided design fields. Course content is directly coordinated to drafting based university curriculum, thereby providing students with the opportunity to meet both short- and long-range educational goals. By completing the associate degree, students gain a high level of competency with modern computer based modeling software while developing a strong, broad-based foundation in preparation for a university degree in areas such as engineering, architecture, and manufacturing.
