Is the Mechanical Design Program Right For You?
Is CVTC’s Mechanical Design program right for you? Let’s take a look at what you can expect and the opportunities available to you.
You Can Succeed
Do you like to understand how things work? Do you enjoy creating drawings and 3-D models? If you have a good grasp of basic principles of engineering, have an interest in how things are manufactured, yet also have a strong creative side, CVTC’s Mechanical Design program could be the right choice for you.
Students in the Mechanical Design program learn to help companies develop products and machines to solve problems and perform tasks. To do this, they need to understand how a machine works or the purpose in developing a product. They use computer-assisted design software and their own creativity to develop solutions. Having a role in developing a well-designed product provides a tremendous sense of satisfaction.
Opportunities Abound
CVTC brought back the Mechanical Design program due to employer demand. They are seeking employees to work with engineering teams creating, modifying, and testing the components the company manufactures.
Graduates of the program will work on projects from conception to finish, using CAD software to create 3-D models and drawings. In the end, their work will not just be images on a screen, but an object they can see and hold.
Companies will seek out Mechanical Design graduates who can work with their customers and suppliers to create new products.
