Program Description

The Engineering Design Graphics (EDG) Minor equips future engineers with the skills to leverage advanced 3D CAD design tools and Industry standard manufacturing drawing/documentation techniques.

While mastering the 3D design tools and techniques within the EDG minor, students will be afforded, depending on the classes chosen, the opportunity to earn industry-standard professional level SolidWorks Certifications including CSWP (Mechanical Design) and CSWP-Advanced certifications: CSWPA-SM (Sheet Metal), CSWPA-DT (Drawing Tools), CSWPA-WD (Weldments), and CSWPA-Surfacing. Additionally, a CSWA-level Certification can be earned in Additive Manufacturing.

Further, in parallel with 3D modeling skills, students will be immersed in project-based exercises that closely mimic real-world product development and product documentation efforts-inclusive of best-practice design processes and Industry compliant drawing creation using ASMEY 14.5 standards.

Graduates that complete the EDG minor will be Industry-ready to significantly contribute to Industry product design and manufacturing documentation efforts, substantially adding to their value as engineers.

Note: Not available to MET students with a concentration in Engineering Design Graphics or General.

Program Student Learning Outcomes

Students who successfully complete this program will be able to: 

1. Apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.
2. Design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.
3. Apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.
4. Conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes.
5. Function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.

This program is a part of the Southern Polytechnic College of Engineering and Engineering Technology .
