Program Map for Advanced Manufacturing Technology Engineering Technology ATA

Design your own future. Gain skills and knowledge in a variety of technical design subjects, including computer aided design (CAD) software such as CATIA, Solid Works, and AutoCAD. Skills learned in this program are taught using applied methods where training is practical and hands-on. 

Technical designers use Computer Aided Design (CAD) in industry for a number of purposes and may do this in the traditional two-dimensional world or in the more revealing three-dimensional world. For example, the floor layout of a manufacturing plant might be made from a bird's eye view perspective, which might be best served with a 2-D plan view. Or, the swing path of a curved door might be best modeled in 3-D so the opening and closing path can be viewed from many perspectives - to more clearly see potential interferences. Beginning salaries in CAD range from $30,000 to $45,000 per year, while more experienced technical designers will receive salaries from $45,000 to $60,000 per year.

Prepare for college-level math

If your math placement is below MATH 76, you’ll need to take the following sequence of courses, starting from the level you placed into:

• TS 60 → TS 70 

 Prepare for college-level English

If your English placement is below ENGL 98, you’ll need to take ENGL/TS/AEP 97

Note: English language learners may need additional courses before ENGL/TS 97 depending on their placement.

 Choose one of the following options to complete part of the Related Instruction requirement:

• Take ENGT 101 - Introduction to Graphics and Measurement
• Take TS/MATH 76 - Mathematical Literacy → TS/MATH 86 - Essentials of Intermediate Algebra

Note: ENG T 101 or eligibility for MATH 086 is a prerequisite for the Engineering Technology Technical Core classes. . 

 Choose one of the following options to complete part of the Related Instruction Requirement:

• Take TS/ENGL 98 - Introduction to College Writing
• Take ENGL& 101/101D - English Composition I

Note: Eligibility for ENGL& 101 is a prerequisite for the Engineering Technology Technical Core classes. Students may take a higher level 5-credit English course.

 Choose one of the following options to complete part of the Common Technical Requirements:

•  MFG T 100 - Safety for Manufacturing 
• MFG T 102  - Manufacturing Employment Readiness

 Before registering each quarter, check your Degree Planner to see what classes you should take to stay on track.  See your faculty program advisor with any questions you have.

• Do you qualify for Financial Aid? Fill out a FAFSA or WASFA and visit the Financial Aid Office to begin talking about how to pay for college. 
• Visit the Tutoring Center, Writing Center, and  the Library.
• Consider registering for a study skills class offered by COLL department.
• Get involved with Student LIFE and join a campus club, such as AMTEC Club.
• See if you qualify for TRiO and/or MESA.

Complete college-level courses. Focus on completing courses that are in Common Technical Requirements in all of Advanced Manufacturing Technology ATA Pathways, so that if you change to another Manufacturing ATA pathway most of the credits you’ve earned already will apply to your new goal

 Complete additional courses that satisfy the Common Technical Requirements:

•  ENG T 100 - Introduction to Engineering Graphics and 2D AutoCAD
• ENG T 108 - Engineering Graphics: 3D CAD
• ENG T 185 - Introduction to CATIA 3D Experience
• ENG T 204 - Drafting using CAD → ENG T 205 - Precision, Fits, Tolerancing with GD&T

 Complete remaining Related Instruction courses. It is recommended that you take one of the following courses:

• BUS 110D - Business Communications
• CMST 204D - Intercultural Communication

Note: Other Related Instruction courses you may take instead are: 

• BUS 165 - Service Essentials for Business
• CMST& 210 - Interpersonal Communication
• CMST& 230 - Small Group Communication.

Recommended Actions

Check back in with your faculty program advisor to discuss if this is the right program for you and update your plan of study as needed.

• If you haven't already, join a club that aligns with your interest, such as such as the AMTEC Organization & American Welding Society.  The AMTEC Organization has 5 entities: Welding, Composites, Engineering Tech, Machining and Mechatronics.

Complete specific degree requirements and earn your Engineering Technology ATA. If you change to another program in this phase, some credits earned may not apply to your new program.

 Complete the Technical Elective course sequence:

•  ENG T 100 (taken in Phase 2) → ENG T 203 - AutoCAD II - Intermediate
• ENG T 108 (taken in Phase 2) → ENG T 259 - Engineering Graphics: 3D CAD/CAM
• ENG T 185 (taken in Phase 2) → ENG T 193 - Intermediate CAD with CATIA 3D Experience and/or higher (ENG T 194 - Tool Design and Product Structure, ENG T 195 - Advanced Surfacing with CATIA 3D Experience, ENG T 196 - Advanced Workbenches with CATIA 3D Experience, or ENG T 217- CAD Design Project)
