20-Month Model Proposed Curriculum

ENGT 1000 - Engineering Technology Applications & Communications - 4 credits

Students learn the basic skills and knowledge and gain the ability to successfully communicate in the technical environment. They learn to use various applications for word processing, problem solving and graphing, along with generating presentation aids for required technical presentations. Outcomes are accomplished through project-based, hands-on use of computer applications required by the department, including Outlook, the internet, Windows, AutoCAD, Excel, PowerPoint, Word and other program-specific software. Corequisite(s): MATH 1710

ENGT 1100 - Fundamentals of Technical Drawing W/Lab - 3 credits

A broadly focused CAD course for CIDD majors, engineering technology majors and engineering transfer students. This course covers the basic techniques and principles necessary to produce engineering drawings, including the use of drafting equipment, freehand sketching, geometric construction, orthographic and isometric drawings, dimensioning and assembly drawings. The computer is used as a drafting tool to teach CAD commands and reinforce the concepts of technical drawing. Word-processing and spreadsheet software are also incorporated to prepare professional technical reports.

ENGT 2990 - Engineering Technology Capstone (NEW CoursE) - 2 credits

A project- or research-oriented course that emphasizes synthesis through collaborative learning.
