Engineering Drafting and Design Technology - Dunwoody College of Technology

Engineering Drafting and Design Technology from Dunwoody College of Technology is a Campus Associate Engineering Design degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. The Career Engineering drafting includes the design , layout, 3D prototyping and drawing of a wide variety of mechanical/electrical/hydraulic/medical products such as parts, tools, machine components, biomedical devices and consumer products. Many designs can be quickly proto-typed using 3-D printers so they can be seen, held and critiqued in a short time frame. This technical field provides excellent opportunities for those who like to originate and develop ideas for industry. Graduates work in industrial drafting and design as engineering aides, detail drafters, tool designers, mechanical drafters, junior mechanical designers and junior product designers. After gaining experience in the field, graduates may advance to a position such as senior drafter, designer supervisor and drafting division manager. Examples of employers include manufacturers of biomedical equipment, controllers, automation equipment, tooling builders and recreational vehicles. The Program The Engineering Drafting and Design program provides graduates with skills and knowledge in the fundamentals of drawing, design concepts, geometric dimensioning, Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD), Solid modeling, Finite Element Analysis simulations 3 dimensional printing and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM). Students spend a significant amount of time in the machine shop and metrology lab gaining practical hands on manufacturing skills to help them understand the realities of manufacturing. They are taught to use the coordinate measuring machine to verify that the parts they make are of a usable quality. In addition to learning field-related skills, Arts and Sciences course work provides students with oral and written communication skills, computer literacy, advanced computation capability and critical thinking skills.
