Engineering Design is a four-semester program leading to an Associate of Applied Science degree. Specialized learning experiences include the implementation of computer-aided design software in various design disciplines. Instruction emphasizes the development of technical knowledge and drafting skills that are essential to the successful entrance into the job market as a design technician.
Former students have been employed as pipe designers, architectural designers, tool designers, civil designers, structural detail designers, electrical designers, and job estimators.
The Engineering Design program provides workplace experiences recommended by the U.S. Department of Labor Secretary’s Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS).
NOTE: The program is only offered at the Wharton campus.
Semester I courses are only offered in the fall semester. It is recommended that all Engineering Design students counsel with a department instructor or Program Director in their first semester of coursework. Students must be enrolled in all Engineering Design courses offered for each semester. Student success in drafting coursework is improved if students take core courses during the summer or mini-terms.
Some upper-level universities will allow 24-44 hours of technical credit to transfer toward a Bachelor of Applied Arts or Science degree. Contact the transfer university for information.
