Associate in
Engineering Technology Degree -- Major in Engineering Graphics Technology
(With Computer Aided
Drafting)
 All phases of
manufacturing or construction require the conversion of new
ideas and design concepts into the basic line language of
graphics. Therefore, there are many areas (civil, mechanical,
electrical, architectural and industrial) in which the skills
of the CAD technicians play major roles in the design and
development of new products or construction.
Students prepare for actual work situations through practical training
in a new state-of-the-art computer designed CAD laboratory using AutoCAD, and
other advanced CAD software.
Specific skills mastered by Engineering
Graphics Technology majors include the production of mechanical,
architectural, electrical and civil drawings both with traditional
drafting machines and state-of-the-art computer aided drafting (CAD)
systems; the selection and design of architectural and mechanical
systems and the basic techniques of land surveying. The senior year includes
advanced CAD techniques using solid modeling, wire frame and assembly
techniques. Internship opportunities may also be available with local
industries for senior EGT students.
This program is accredited by
the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation
Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), 111 Market Place,
Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 71202.
