Mechanical Design Engineering Technology (ITC)
Interm Technical Certificate
Career-Technical Program
Interest Areas:
- Manufacturing and Trades
The Mechanical Design Engineering Technology program offers students the opportunity to learn skills required by today's industries. Students can pursue a two-semester Intermediate Technical Certificate, a four-semester Advanced Technical Certificate, or a four-semester Associate of Applied Science Degree. Mechanical Design Engineering Technology places heavy emphasis on design and manufacturing principles with computer aided design applications. Portions of the Associate of Applied Science Degree options may transfer to various four-year institutions.
Current industry professionals may enroll in a single course on a space-available basis with instructor permission.

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.
