Engineering Support Technology Department

The Engineering Support Technology curriculum is designed to prepare students for careers in industry as drafters or related occupations or as an avocational pursuit. Engineers require drafting skills as do architects and designers. Drafting technicians are in short supply throughout the nation, affording many employment opportunities for qualified individuals. The techniques of drafting are used in many types of industries such as automotive, electronics, building construction, aeronautical/aerospace, machine design, advertising, illustrating, and engineering. A.A. and A.S. degrees as well as certificates can be earned in the Engineering Support Technology Program. The certificate programs do not satisfy A.A./A.S. degree requirements but do qualify students for a certificate in the field of study.
