Engineering Program Overview

The one or two-year Engineering course builds basic conceptual and design skills by taking students from basic drafting concepts to practical and advanced design projects using the latest CAD software and techniques.

Students who are curious about how things work and are interested in mechanical design may be a perfect fit for this program. Upon completion of the course, students will have in excess of 425 clock hours of project-based drafting and design experience.

  • First-year students will be offered a combination of basic skills in  Engineering.
  • Second-year students are taught in a more advanced, independent style, where they will often have real client-based projects when available.
  • Students can take part in internships with local companies when they are available.
