Degree Plans - Engineering Technology - Computer Aided Design AAS
ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY -- COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN OPTION
Richland only
(Associate in Applied Sciences Degree, Tech Prep)
(Students pursuing this AAS program are required to meet all TASP requirements.)
Degree Plan Code: AAS.ENGINEER.CAD
Design skills are required of today's CAD professionals. Knowledge of FEA, material analysis, applied mechanics, design for manufacture and CAD/CAM provides a strong base of information needed in design development.
This program stresses the entire product development process, using the parametric approach and integrating the computer as a true instrument of design - not a drafting tool.
