The Engineering & Computer Integrated Design program gives students a jumpstart to pursue careers in Engineering Technology and is for students who are interested in design and engineering. Students get exposed to the design process, teamwork, engineering standards and technical documentation. Engineering projects will develop skills and understanding of course concepts and hone interpersonal skills, creative abilities and their understanding of the design process.

The first year of the Engineering & Computer Integrated Design Program, students get introduced to 2D & 3D CAD/CAM software & Additive Manufacturing Technologies. Typical Projects include 3D printing and Laser Cutting. Students understand the Engineering Design process and sharpen their critical thinking and problem-solving skills with their projects. Students will emerge from the first year with the skills to enter into the Work-Based Learning programs at C-TEC for their senior year.

 During the second year of the program, Engineering & Computer Integrated Design extends on the foundational topics from the first year. Students develop proficiency in CAD/CAM software and Additive Manufacturing Technologies. Students develop an Engineering Design project during this course that incorporates collaboration with other labs at C-TEC (typically, Welding, RAM and ECT). Emphasis is placed on applied engineering and processes to design and meet industry related demands.
