calendarEngineering Design & Configuration Management
Bachelor
of Science degree
The Engineering Design & Configuration Management bachelor’s degree program complements the two-year Computerized Drafting associate degree.
Students build upon their associate degree in Computerized Drafting and integrate CAD software and drafting standards to develop engineering design concepts and configuration management methods and techniques.
The Engineering Design & Configuration Management program is comprised of the development of design skills, conventions and standards, and the management of design documentation for products and projects. The organization and design of products parallels the organization and development of projects. Some topics in this program are quality control/professional practice, design II and project development, materials & process engineering, standards/codes & ergonomics, configuration management and an introduction to CAD/CAM. Each course is developed for hands-on experience and case studies to prepare the student for the professional placement.
Graduates can expect to be part of design and project teams in either fields of manufacturing of products or in areas of project development and management with start-up companies, and established organizations.
An important component of the educational experience of the Business/Information Systems Analysis major is the general studies courses taught out of the John Hazen White School of Arts and Sciences. Graduates are expected to show competencies in higher order thinking, communications, ethics, global diversity, responsible citizenship, leadership and artistic responsibility. The following literacies should also be demonstrated: socio-cultural, quantitative, scientific and informational.
Outcomes for the Bachelor of Science in Engineer Design & Configuration Management are as follows:
- Demonstrate ability to apply knowledge of mathematics and engineering sciences, necessary to carry out analysis and design appropriate to electrical engineering.
- Demonstrate ability to conduct experiments, analyze, and interpret data.
- Demonstrate an ability to use techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
- Demonstrate ability to identify, formulate, and solve process/system engineering problems
