Description: The Certificate of Completion (CCL) in Industrial Design Technology: Design Specialist: SolidWorks prepares students for careers as technical assistants, engineering technicians or hands on product designers. This expertise will allow employment in a variety of hi-tech product development and 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 manufacturing. Competency and technical expertise will be learned on industry specific three-dimensional 3D Solid Design software, 3D printers, and mechanical design simulation software. The core specialty of the program is hands-on experience with solid design.
Program Notes: Students must earn a grade of "C" or better for all courses required within the program.
+ indicates course has prerequisites and/or corequisites.
Admission Criteria: Math assessment score on District placement exam placing students into MAT090 or MAT091 or MAT092 or higher, or permission of Department or Division.
