Mechanical Engineering Technologies

Drafting is the leading skill in mechanical engineering today, which can lead to specializing in the design of engines, consumer goods, electronics and heavy machinery. Engineering comes to life in the form of tools, systems and devices. Understanding how products and machinery work – as well as how to design, make and use them – is the focus of building these skills.
