Associate in Engineering Technology - Major in Engineering Graphics Technology (EGT)
64 Semester Hours
The Engineering Graphics Technology Associate Degree is designed to give students the requisite skills essential for success in the rapidly changing field of engineering graphics technology. Hands-on experience familiarizes students with computer-aided drafting (CAD) technology and its applications in business and industry. Students learn to develop technical drawings with an emphasis on working drawings as they are applied in industrial and manufacturing settings and in engineering and architectural firms.
A combination of classroom and laboratory instruction provides a balance between theoretical and practical applications. Excellent employment opportunities are available for graduates, including positions as engineering technicians, junior draftsmen, and CAD technicians. The decisive expansion of the technology in this dynamic field will continue to lead to significant increases in professional opportunities for today's graduates.
