AA/AS in Drafting/Design Engineering Technologies/Technicians

Engineering Design Graphics is an applied associate degree for students who want a career preparing the drawings and digital models that engineers and manufacturers rely on. Instruction focuses on technical drafting practice and on software for building three-dimensional models, so students learn to turn rough ideas into detailed designs. Smaller credentials in the same field, a certificate of technology and a Level 2 certificate, let students collect skills in stages and later apply them to the degree. The degree is arranged over five full-time terms, one of them a summer term. Graduates can begin a design graphics career or move up in the job they already hold, and the certificate options help those who need to fit study around work.
