Welcome to Mechanical Design and Fabrication
(Dept. of Engineering Technology)

This degree prepares a student for a career in the computerized machining and fabrication industry. The core courses provide a basis for employment in a variety of  manufacturing areas some of which include Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Computerized Machining,  Production Welding, Metal Fabrication, computerized millwright in wood, plastics and composite materials.

Specific software used in this technical program include AutoCAD, PlasmaCAM,  MasterCAM-X Mill, Lathe, Router and SolidWorks. To prepare the student in this high demand industry our objective is to teach students proficiency in the set-up and operation of state of the art CNC machining and turning centers.  

This two year degree's objective is to teach the student to become proficient in the setup and operation of state of the art CNC machining and turning centers such as the Haas VF-2 Mill, Haas TL-1 Lathe, and CNC plasma cutting. Additionally, students will gain proficiency in CNC router and CAD/CAM millwright applications.

The 12 credit CNC machinist / Operator College credit certificate reflects the culmination of those learned skills and proficiencies needed to offer productive skills needed in any fabrication industry.

This program provides the student with unique skills and opportunities necessary for employment in local and regional industries. A student can acquire practical working experiences by participating in our co-op opportunities with local manufacturers. The practical and marketable skills taught in this program may lead to higher wages by enabling students to become more productive in their present jobs or giving them the skills necessary to obtain new employment.
