Mechanical Drafting & Design

Some courses may require appropriate test score or completion of basic math, basic English and/or reading courses with a “C” or better.

ENGL 1107 Composition I/ENGL 2105 Business and Technical Writing Prerequisites ENGL 0102 or ENGL 0960 and READ 0900 or READ 0960 or appropriate test score.

MATH 1070 Technical Mathematics I Prerequisites MATH 0801 or appropriate test score.

By completing this program, students will achieve the following learning outcomes.

1. Apply the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of the discipline to narrowly defined engineering technology activities.
2. Apply a knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to engineering technology problems that require limited application of principles but extensive practical knowledge.
3. Conduct standard tests and measurements, and to conduct, analyze, and interpret experiments.
4. Function effectively as a member of a technical team.
5. Identify, analyze, and solve narrowly defined engineering technology problems.
6. Apply written, oral, and graphical communication in both technical and non-technical environments; and identify and use appropriate technical literature.
7. Understand the need for and an ability to engage in self-directed continuing professional development.
8. Understand and commit to addressing professional and ethical responsibilities, including a respect for diversity.
9. Commit to quality, timeliness, and continuous improvement.
10. Demonstrate knowledge and technical competency appropriate to the objectives of the program in engineering materials, applied mechanics, and manufacturing methods.
11. Demonstrate knowledge and technical competency appropriate to the objectives of the program in applied drafting practice emphasizing mechanical components and systems, as well as fundamentals of descriptive geometry, orthographic projection, sectioning, tolerancing and dimensioning, and basic computer aided drafting and design with technical depth in at least one of these areas.
12. Demonstrate knowledge and technical competency appropriate to the objectives of the program in the application of physics and engineering materials having an emphasis in applied mechanics, or in-depth application of physics having emphasis in mechanical components and design.

Students can choose to complete this program part-time. Part-time students will take longer to complete their program than students who follow the full-time sequence listed on the official program guide (see the program guide PDF under the LINKS section to the right). Because every course may not be offered each semester, it is important for part-time students to reach out to their faculty advisors for help in planning their long-term, part-time course sequence. Refer to the below PDF document for first semester part-time course options and further information.
