Program Description: Engineering Design/Drafting Technology is a profession that encompasses a variety of engineering disciplines that are always in high demand: mechanical, civil, piping, electronics, structural, and industrial. Students develop skills in technical drafting, CAD (Computer Aided Design), and the drafting practices specific to each of these discipline areas. Drafters and designers are an integral part of a project team in every field, developing the drawings and designs for fabrication and construction.
The AAS degree provides, in addition to the certificate, an emphasis in specific discipline areas such as: electromechanical, structural steel detailing, piping, and civil, and depth in CAD areas such as customization, solid modeling, and discipline specific software. Courses covering design theory, manufacturing processes and problem-solving, as well as elective depth courses in related areas provide knowledge and skills that will enhance the students’ ability to advance to the level of designer in industry.
Career Opportunities: AAS degree students or students with one year of experience develop their own drawings from design specifications or field sketches and can expect between $15 and $17 to start. Two to four years of work experience will generally raise the employee to the level of designer at salaries from $38,000 to $52,000 per year.
Transfer/Articulation Information: Students who earn an AAS degree in Engineering Design/Drafting Technology have the option to transfer into the Technology Management Bachelor Degree at Utah Valley University. UVU will accept up to 45 technical credits towards this degree.
Estimated Time to Completion: If students follow the sample schedule, time to completion is 18 months
