Engineering Technology - Mechanical Design and Fabrication Associate in Science (MECH-AS)

The Mechanical Design & Fabrication specialization prepares students for careers in CNC machining, mechanical design and metal fabrication. The coursework provides the basis for employment in a variety of manufacturing areas some of which include Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Computerized Machining (CNC), Production Welding; and Fabrication. Industry standard software used in this program includes AutoCAD, PlasmaCAM, MasterCam and SolidWorks. Emphasis will focus on skill sets that allow students to obtain industry certifications.

You are strongly encouraged to contact the Engineering Technology Department for assistance in your decision to take coursework and in the planning of your program of study.
