This program prepares students for entry-level design and engineering technology positions using CAD systems in concurrent design and manufacturing environments. It covers the complete product lifecycle from concept to end-of-life, with students using rapid prototyping to develop digital design solutions. The second year emphasizes product and process (tool) design. Electives explore translating CAD models into CAM (computer aided manufacturing) activities. Graduates find employment in aerospace, defense, automotive, and medical technology sectors.
