Computer Aided Drafting and Design – Mechanical | Principles of Engineering Certificate

The Principles of Engineering certificate is designed for students to utilize engineering principles and apply the design process while developing scientific and engineering solutions. Additionally, students will learn the architecture, hardware, programming languages, and input/output capabilities of microcontrollers, and produce industrial 2D working drawings and 3D models.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the Principles of Engineering certificate program, students should be able to:

  • Interpret and produce industrial 2D working drawings and 3D models based on industry standards
  • Program a microcontroller to execute the code
  • Program a robot in a higher-level language to perform various tasks
  • Interface with sensor circuits
  • Develop solutions to elementary engineering problems using a systematic approach
  • Utilize basic concepts of trigonometry to solve application problems
