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, and the selection and design of architectural and mechanical systems. 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.

Recent high school graduates should be asked if they have participated in Project Lead the Way. If so, high school transcripts should be forwarded to Sandy Warner for possible exemption credit.
-
EGR 101 is a new course starting spring 2012, specially designed for students who are enrolled in MAT 152, MAT 101 or MAT 102 and not yet able to begin engineering couresework requiring higher math. It is a one credit hour (one contact hour) course for all engineering majors.
Students who need MAT, ENG or RDG 032 courses as prerequisites should not enroll in EGT, EET or EGR courses.
-
To enroll in EGR 130, students must have completed MAT 102 or have placement scores indicating readiness for MAT 110.
-
Students will need to purchase a drafting kit (approx. $100).
-
Students will need to purchase a flash drive (1GB minimum).
-
When students enter this program with Project Lead the Way course credit in high school, they may receive the following credit:
PLTW High School Course = PTC Course
Introduction to Engineering Design (IED) = EGT 152
Principles of Engineering (POE) = EGR 130
Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) = CIM 131
Civil Engineering & Architectural (CEA) = AET 101
