Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

The Associate in Applied Science in Engineering Graphics Technology prepares graduates for careers in architectural, civil, mechanical, or manufacturing engineering office settings. Students use the principles and theories of science, engineering, mathematics, physics, and the use of the latest computer-aided design (CAD) software, to solve technical problems. Graduates obtain jobs in research and development, manufacturing, sales, construction, inspection, and maintenance. On-the-job duties may also include preparing and conducting experiments, collecting data, calculating or recording results, and prototyping. Students who complete the Engineering Graphics Technology Associate Degree will also earn the Engineering Graphics Diploma. This program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET (ETAC of ABET), 415 N. Charles Street, Baltimore MD 21201 (410) 347-7700 www.abet.org.
