The design technology program will show you how you can become a valuable member of a process engineering team. You'll learn how to design solutions for modifying new or existing buildings, developing innovative commercial products, creating compelling animations and technical brochures, or carving complex machine parts from simple blocks of wood. Choose from one of four specialties--Architectural, Mechanical, Graphics or CAD-CAM--and you'll be on your way to an exciting career in an in-demand field.
