Associate in Science in Engineering Technology – Mechanical Design and Fabrication (MECH-AS): https://www.pensacolastate.edu/academic-programs/mech-as/

The Mechanical Design & Fabrication specialization prepares students in careers as a Mechanical Engineering Technician, Mechanical Design Technician and Mechanical Fabrication Technician specializing in CNC machining, Mechanical Design and Metal Fabrication. The coursework provides the basis for employment in a variety of manufacturing areas some of which include Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Computerized Machining (CNC), Production Welding, and Fabrication. CAD/CAM Industry standard software used in this program includes AutoCAD, Fusion 360, and Lincoln Electric TorchMate CNC Plasma. Objectives in this program is to teach proficiency in CNC programming, set-up and operation of CNC machining and turning centers to prepare students for employment in this high demand industry. Students will have an opportunity to complete the Autodesk Associate Product Design & Manufacturing Certifications. The lab is equipped with Haas CNC milling and turning machining centers, CNC gantry router, CNC plasma cutting, CNC Laser and metal / Composite fabricating equipment. Included in the Engineering Technology A.S. degree are five college credit certificates. Students can also acquire practical working experience by participating in Co-op opportunities with local manufacturers. You are strongly encouraged to contact the Engineering Technology Department for assistance in your decision to take coursework and in the planning of your program of study.
