EGR.MECHANICAL.AAS - Engineering Technology - Mechanical

Provide hands-on technical skills required in workplaces through computer and laboratory-based practices, and a core of related courses such as physics, mathematical applications, and introduction to engineering. Students will study the design of products by learning design principles, drafting, problem solving, mechanics of materials, knowledge of manufacturing processes and machine elements design. In addition, course works include wide background content in areas such as electricity and electrical motors, science of materials, manufacturing processes, and tool design. Design is emphasized utilizing computer drafting and design technology. In a capstone course, students are required to work in a team to design and develop a new product or process in response to a sponsor need. Graduates are prepared for several types of design technologist positions such as product designer, CAD designer, tool designer, research and development technician, or manufacturing technician. The math sequence eases the transfer of students to a 4-year institute for completion of a Bachelor of Engineering Technology.
