(Formerly Design Drafting)
The Engineering Support Technology curriculum is designed to prepare students for careers in industry as engineering support technicians who plan, prepare, and interpret engineering sketches for design and drafting relative to mechanical and architectural designs, civil structures and developments, weldments, electronic circuits, or landscape architecture and design. Includes sketching and the application of Computer Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) software to the creation of graphic representations and simulations in support of engineering projects.
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.
