ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY
DEPARTMENT
Certificates of Proficiency in Drafting, Electronics
Associate in Applied Science degrees in Drafting, Electronics
The Engineering Technology Department offers certificate, associate and bachelorÕs degrees in four academic and technical areas: Drafting Technology, Electronics Technology, Engineering Technology and Machining Technology. These courses of study are designed to qualify the students for jobs as technicians and engineering technologists in a variety of design, Manufacturing and testing fields and to provide a basis for further study, advanced degrees and lifelong learning. Students acquire a valuable set of competencies in design, communications, listening, critical thinking and problem solving in addition to their expertise in the particular field of study.
Drafting Technology
The two-year curriculum in Drafting Technology prepares students for employment as drafting technicians in a variety of areas: Architectural, Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, and Manufacturing.
Drafters produce detailed drawings with exact dimensions and specifications. Drafters must translate ideas into drawings and are an integral link between an idea and the finished product. Most drafters now use CAD (Computer-Aided Drafting) to make layouts, working plans, assembly drawings, and maps from notes and sketches. They put in written form the plans and designs of architects, engineers, or designers. To show the use or purpose of an object, drafters draw several views of each part in detail. These views enable workers to see the objectÕs application in an assembly and where it fits in the overall design.
Drafters work in construction, petroleum, transportation, automobile, manufacturing, machinery, utilities, consulting engineering, architecture, and in electronics, and missile programs. Almost every product needs detailed working drawings. To supply these plans, drafters work in industries that make everything from toys to rockets.
Upon completion of the Associate in Applied Science Degree, the students should be able to:
Ð produce correct drawings either manually or with CAD
Ð assume drafting assignments with minimum supervision
Ð communicate effectively with employer and staff in order to work in drafting team assignments
