Engineering Design 2-year Degree Program

in partnership with

Globe University/Minnesota School of Business offers a two-year degree in engineering design and drafting. Graduates are prepared to create sketches, models, working drawings and materials lists for manufacture of products ranging from laptops to limousines.

More than engineering drafters, these professionals will be prepared to reduce the cost of production and increase reliability. They will be valued links between engineers and production technicians.

Associate in Applied Science in Engineering Drafting and Design

A full-time student will finish the program in less than two years. Classes are small, allowing maximum instructor-student time, and the focus is on hands-on training. Studies include the following:

• Engineering drawing
• SolidWorks and Creo software (Pro-Engineer)
• Dimensioning and tolerancing GD&T
• Design for manufacturing
• Product data management
• Tool design
• Product and process improvement
• Tolerance stack-up and analysis
• Statics and material strength

The program concludes with the engineering capstone, during which students assemble portfolios of their best work to present to employers. And before and after graduation, Career Services provides one-on-one job-search assistance.
