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.

STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS
Skills USA - All students enrolled in the engineering design/drafting technology program are members of Skills USA, sponsor of the Professional Development Program (PDP). This program is designed to promote leadership, communication, social, and employability skills.

Estimated Time to Completion: If students follow the sample schedule, time to completion is two semesters.

General Education Requirements


Quantitative Studies (QS) 4 Credits


Communication (CM) 3 Credits


  • Any approved CM course

Human Relations (HR) 2-3 Credits


  • Any approved HR course

Note:


Students who may want to pursue an AS degree in the future should take either LE 1220 , as it meets the Social Science (SS) , or COMM 2110 , as it meets the Interdisciplinary (ID)  requirement.

Sample Schedule


Total: 15


*EDDT 1040  is taught the first half-term (8 weeks) of the semester and EDDT 1100  is taught the second half-term of the semester so students can take both in one semester. EDDT 1420  is taught the first half-term (8 weeks) of the semester and EDDT 2190  is taught the second half-term of the semester so students can take both in one semester.

Spring Semester


Total: 14-15


Advising Notes:


It is the student’s responsibility to examine each course description for details of prerequisite classes or preparation. Those prerequisites must be satisfied before the designated class may be taken and may require extra time to complete the program. Students should check the semester class schedule for the day/evening availability and modifications caused by varying enrollment.

Students acquiring an Associate of Science Degree with a pre-major in General Studies may simultaneously earn a Certificate in Engineering Drafting Technology by selecting the above courses to fulfill the elective component of the AS degree.

EDDT classes are offered summer term as requested by students. Classes taken summer can reduce the credit hours required in other semesters or shorten the time to acquire the degree.

EDDT evening classes are generally offered on alternating semesters than those listed or in summer term.
