Mechanical Engineering Technology

Fall 2018

AAS - SCC

Offered at Locations:  Spokane Community College
Mechanical Engineering Technology prepares students for advanced mechanical drafting and design using both CAD drafting and Solid Modeling techniques.  The course of study prepares students to work in engineering teams for large and small manufacturing firms, consultant engineering firms, testing and research companies.

Students learn the design and manufacturing processes required for a product to be developed from initial concept to final production.  Students not only learn to draft using CAD and Solid Modeling techniques, but also get "hands-on" practical experience in Rapid Prototyping, live design projects, and by learning fabrication processes used in industry.  Coursework includes design and assembly techniques as well as shop practice techniques and shop safety.  The course of study includes advanced disciplines of engineering technology such as math, physics, electrical theory, manufacturing, project management, and/or optional studies as available in statics, strength of materials, chemistry, etc. 

Students will receive an AAS degree. New students should start in fall quarter. Students will need to schedule and make arrangements to complete all courses and electives with a prefix other than CAD or APLED to complete the program in a two-year sequence. All courses must receive a 2.0 or higher to complete this degree. 

This AAS degree can transfer directly to EWU in a Bachelor's degree program.
