Mechanical Design Technology from Madison Area Technical College is a Campus Associate Mechanical Engineering degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. About: Mechanical design technicians assist engineers in the design of products and prepare engineering drawings for any manufactured product that you use in everyday life. The parts of a car, the chairs you sit on or the computer keyboard you use, are all examples of mechanical parts that have to be designed and drawn prior to being manufactured. Mechanical design technicians are challenged through active involvement in the engineering design process creating more dependable, cost effective and unique product designs that will satisfy their customers. To assist in this process, mechanical design technicians use science, mathematics, engineering problem solving, computer-aided design (CAD) technology and parametric solid modeling. Program Outcomes: 1. Communicate effectively in written, verbal, and electronic formats to coworkers, supervisors, and customers. 2. Apply technical math and science knowledge to prepare engineering drawings and assist in the design of products. 3. Use computers and appropriate software to solve problems and communicate in the mechanical design work environment. 4. Use appropriate CAD systems to create designs/drawings. 5. Demonstrate applied technical drawing standards essential to create working drawings. 6. Analyze mechanical parts based on selection criteria and strength requirements. 7. Apply a basic knowledge and understanding of manufacturing infrastructure* and planning in the mechanical design field. 8.
