Description: The Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Industrial Design Technology program prepares students for careers in the field of Industrial Design. This expertise will allow employment in a variety of hi-tech product development and medical device, consumer product, aerospace, and automotive manufacturing companies. The program includes courses designed to provide students with a working knowledge in the field of product design, product development and rapid part production. Competency and technical expertise will be learned on industry specific three-dimensional (3D) Solid Design software and 3D printers. The core specialty of the program is hands-on experience with Computer Aided Design (CAD), and 3D printing. A Certificate of Completion (CCL) in Industrial Design Technology: Design Specialist is also available.
