Modern society demands a variety of skills and educational achievements to cover the wide range of scientific and technological positions. The problems confronting business, industry and government require large numbers of technicians and technologists, as well as engineers and scientists.

The Department of Technology curricula emphasize many of the underlying principles of component design and skills required to communicate with the engineer, scientist and production personnel. Elective courses within the academic programs provide the student with the opportunity to study selected areas.

The Associate Degree program in Drafting and Design Technology is designed to provide the skills to assist the engineer in the solution of design problems and to enable the technician to carry out complex assignments in machine, tool and product design with a minimum of supervision.

The two-plus-two program in Computer-Aided Drafting and Design is a bachelor degree program that serves as a continuation of the Drafting and Design Technology program with emphasis being placed on the advanced activities of the modern engineering department. The program provides the skills and knowledge to advance in industry to the upper levels of supervision. Knowledge of computers, management, advance CADD, engineering specifications and applied engineering design are all part of the program. The technologist trained in this area will be able to supervise and develop the technical communications necessary in the engineering and scientific professions.
