3D CAD Engineering Technology is designed to prepare students for employment in theengineering, architectural and manufacturing fields as CAD and engineering technicians. The program trains students with the latest CAD software to design drawings, models and parts for industry.
An Associate of Applied Science degree is earned upon successful completion of the program. Career and technical certificate can also be obtained.
Progression: To meet graduation requirements for this program, students must successfully complete the specified courses listed below with a “C” average (GPA of 2.00) or better. A grade of “C” or higher is required in each DDT course to progress in the program.
Minimum admission requirements (in addition to general admission requirements) must include one of the following:
- Attain a 17 composite score on the ACT;
- Score a 70 or higher on the ACCUPLACER Reading Section and a 63 or above on the Algebra Section;
- Earn a “C” or above in Intermediate English and Reading (ENG 0124) and demonstrate competency for Intermediate Algebra (MAT 1233);
- Complete 15 semester hours with a “C” average or above from an accredited college or university and demonstrate competency for Intermediate Algebra (MAT 1233). Developmental coursework does not satisfy this requirement.
Students in the 3D CAD Engineering Technology Program must attend MCC full time (15 or more semester credit hours).
