Program Outcomes
Upon completion of the program, students will be able to:
- Demonstrate basic three-dimensional (3D) Computer Aided Design (CAD) software commands, in a related pedagogical sequence to generate geometric constructs to create parametric feature-based geometry methodology for parts, assemblies, and drawings.
- Use Microsoft Office for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint as well as access the internet.
- Utilize mathematical skills to plan, calculate and execute precision measuring techniques to validate design and manufacturing applications for parts and assemblies.
- Interpret and apply American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards to produce detailed working drawings used in contemporary manufacturing industries.
- Demonstrate appropriate work relationships and habits, communication, and computational skills used in contemporary technical industries.
