Associate's Degree Program

This degree is designed to explore mechanical engineering technology, with emphasis on integrated manufacturing.  Subject matter includes drafting, CAD/CAM, CNC, materials testing, and robotics applications.  Technical electives may be substituted with the approval of faculty advisor.  The "general option" of this degree program is available at the Ashtabula, Trumbull, and Tuscarawas Campuses.  The "systems" option is an individualized program which must be developed with an advisor's assistance.  The latter is available only at the Ashtabula and Salem Campuses (see also Systems Engineering Technology).  The polymer option is presently available at the Ashtabula and Trumbull Campuses.
