This program prepares students for employment as a MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DRAFTER or DESIGNER. Mechanical drafters use MCAD (mechanical computer-aided drafting/design) software to create solid models and then detailed technical drawings of machinery or mechanical devices designed by engineers. The focus of this program is on learning the industry-standard mechanical CAD (MCAD) software that is used heavily in the mechanical, aerospace, automotive, industrial, & biomedical engineering fields. The program has a strong focus on using the parametric nature of MCAD software to produce changeable models incorporating “design intent” and to produce drawings that conform to industry standards. The skills learned are applicable to drafters, designers, engineering technicians, and engineers in these fields.

This program prepares students for entry level DRAFTER positions that require knowledge of AutoCAD, typically in the architectural, civil, construction, and industrial fields. Students will learn to create and edit technical drawings and annotate designs. The program may be completed in less than one year, and it provides a good first step to more advanced drafting technology coursework and programs.

This program prepares students for employment as a COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN (CAD) DRAFTER, with a focus on CAD software skills in either of two areas: (1) MECHANICAL or (2) CIVIL.

Welding occupations offer a variety of work settings. Approximately two-thirds of welders are employed in manufacturing plants that produce motor vehicles, ships, boilers, machinery, appliances and other metal products. Repair shops or construction companies that build bridges, large buildings, pipelines and similar metal structures employ most of the remaining welders. Welding machine operators work in manufacturing industries. Welders may spend their workday inside well-ventilated and well-lit shops and/or factories, outside at a construction site or in confined spaces, such as in an underground tunnel or a large storage tank that is being built.

Manufacturing technology is evolving. Gone are the days of blue collar workers performing manual labor to construct objects. The use of new technology have changed manufacturing to have parts constructed under computer numerical control (CNC), which are machine tools that are controlled using computer software. CNC allows for faster and more precise movements than what is allowed in traditional machining. More companies are turning to CNC machining for their manufacturing needs.

Manufacturing technology is evolving. Gone are the days of blue collar workers performing manual labor to construct objects.

In addition to the general education requirements, the associate degree curriculum in manufacturing technology-computer numerical control programmer A (Mastercam) is designed to prepare the student for entry or advancement in the CNC programming specialty of the machine tool field.

Computer Information Systems/Information Technology are one of the fastest growing fields in the United States. As the world becomes ever more reliant on technology for all matters of life, computer information systems will play an increasingly large role in moving that technology forward. Most organizations today have a reliance on technology in their day to day functions. Programmers will code every program running on a computer, every app on a phone, and every webpage on the internet. Computer research scientists create new technology and re-purpose existing technology for new innovative uses. Security analysts will oversee security features for a company and make sure their information is protected. Database administrators store data integral to company functions. Computer Information Systems plays a key role in these and many other cases.
