What You'll Learn
This program prepares graduates to work with engineers to design, prepare, develop, and test all types of machines and products. Students learn to apply knowledge of mechanical engineering technology and use 2D and 3D computer-aided design applications. They also learn about manufacturing processes, material strength, basic mechanisms, and three-dimensional modeling.
You’ll gain an understanding of complex systems and how parts and pieces work together. You will also learn about and use research and development (R&D) processes, such as prototyping, testing, and QA, and how these are applied in the world of manufacturing. Hands-on projects include building parts to make mechanical systems as well as first-hand experience with scanning and modeling parts, 3D printing parts, and additive manufacturing.
