High Performance Manufacturing and Engineering



Course description
Would you like to be sought after by some of the region’s largest employers?

Marine Engineering and Design will introduce students to the Naval/Commercial Marine Engineering and Design Industry and prepare them for future career opportunities in this exciting field. Topics of instruction will include the differences between naval and commercial drafting and design formats and standards, types of drawings, and an introduction to the primary design disciplines of the Marine Industry. Students prepare for AutoCAD certification.

Prerequisite(s):

Computer Aided Drafting & Design I (AT8530) or;
Basic Technical Drawing (TE8435)


Course description
During this two-year program, students receive extensive training in architectural and mechanical design.

This course involves developing complete mechanical assembly drawings with parts lists, welding symbols, and detail sheets. You will design a dream house and develop a complete set of building plans while developing skills in using AutoCAD, Architectural Desktop, and 3D Studio Viz software. Students prepare for AutoCAD certification.


Course description
Engineering Technology is for students interested in a career in engineering, robotics, manufacturing, or industrial management.

From automobiles to airplanes, cell phones to computers, stereos to ships, it all has to be designed, engineered, and produced. This two-year program provides students with foundational skills in areas, such as engineering technology, robotics, computer integrated manufacturing, materials science, and applied physics. Students prepare for the National Occupational Competency Testing Institute (NOCTI) assessment in Manufacturing Technology.


Course description
Students use 3ds Max software to create, modify, light, animate, and add special effects to virtual 3D models and environments that can be used to simulate activities in the medical, transportation, military, electronic gaming and advertising fields.

Students should be co-enrolled in or successfully completed Geometry. Some computer aided drafting (CAD) experience is preferred. Basic Technical Drawing (TE8435) is required for potential credit with Old Dominion University. Students prepare for the 3ds Max Certification. The majority of the Modeling and Simulation post graduates pursue college degrees in Graphic Design, Computer Science, and Engineering-related programs.
