Associate in Applied Science in General Technology

Engineering Design Graphics Career Path

62-63 Credit Hours

The General Technology degree allows students to become multi-skilled technicians by creating an individualized plan to meet their career goals. Students complete the general education curriculum and coursework in at least two technical areas. The primary technical specialty consists of at least 21 credits from an approved degree, diploma, or technical certificate currently offered by the college. Students also complete a minimum of 12 credits in a secondary path with guidance from their faculty advisor.

This degree pathway prepares students for employment in the drafting field with opportunities in both government and industry. Training emphasizes the development of computer-aided design and drafting skills. Graduates typically obtain drafting and technical illustration jobs in the architectural, civil, construction, electrical, or mechanical fields.

Students can earn only one General Technology degree in a single career path.
