Industrial Design Engineering - Level I (Certificate N0651)

Technology and Health Division
Architecture, IDE & Manufacturing Department

The Industrial Design Engineering program prepares students to work in industrial design, mechanical design, fabrication and manufacturing areas as entry level designers, fabricators, mold-makers, prototype model-makers or Computer-Aided Design (CAD) technicians. The program emphasizes hands-on, project-based learning using industry-representative content and explores the intersection of digital, virtual technologies. The Level 1 certificate provides fundamental and intermediate skills in CAD, print-reading, visual communication, mechanical literacy and prototype fabrication required to progress to intermediate (Level 2) and advanced (Level 3) courses. Students may need to pay a $20 materials fee for courses in this program.
