An introductory course that demonstrates the integration of Computer-Aided-Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided-Manufacturing (CAM). This is a study of modern prototyping and machining methods, teaching the use of specific software for converting 2D and 3D CAD drawing geometry directly into toolpath information used to drive numerically controlled turning and/or milling machines, which is commonly referred to as CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled). Prerequisite: Satisfaction of mathematics preparatory requirement.

An introductory course that introduces the fundamentals of machining. This is a study of traditional manual machining methods, teaching the use of a machine tool such as a lathe and/or a mill. Shop experience is combined with some classroom instruction. Training on safe use of machine tools. A machining project is normally required. Prerequisite: Satisfaction of mathematics preparatory requirement.

An introductory course that introduces the fundamentals of welding. This is a study of traditional manual welding methods, using TIG or MIG or stick welding process. Shop experience is combined with some classroom instruction. Training on safe use of welding tools and equipment. A welding project is normally required. Prerequisite: Satisfaction of mathematics preparatory requirement.

An introductory course that introduces the fundamentals of metal casting process or processes. This is a study of traditional sand mold methods, casting copper or aluminum. Shop experience is combined with some classroom instruction. Training on safe use of casting tools and equipment. A casting project is normally required. Prerequisite: Satisfaction of mathematics preparatory requirement.

An introductory course that introduces the fundamentals of rapid prototyping via 3D printing. This is a study of how to generate a part in CAD and how to write out a STL file and download it to a 3D printer and print it. Hands-on experience is combined with some classroom instruction. Training on proper use of a 3D printer is included. A term project is normally required. Prerequisite: Satisfaction of Math Preparatory Requirement.

An introduction to the engineering profession. The course will introduce students to the fundamentals of engineering design and analysis through involvement in solving problems in a project team approach as well as individual study/lab sessions. The course will also cover engineering from the lens of the Scripture, and the importance of mathematics and communication. Brief review of basic math (geometry, algebra, trigonometry) necessary for continued success in the engineering program. Prerequisite: Satisfaction of Math Preparatory Requirement.

An introduction to engineering graphics and computer-aided design (CAD) using a 3D solid modeling software package. Topics include geometric construction, sketching, orthographic projection, isometric, sectional and detailed views, engineering drawings and assemblies, parametric solid modeling and motion simulation/animation. Includes design projects. Prerequisite: Satisfaction of Math Preparatory Requirement.
