Engineers use engineering graphics to describe their design, to exchange ideas, and to communicate with others. As an important communication tool, most engineering department commits at least two courses on engineering graphics. The mechanical engineering technology at the college offers three engineering graphics courses for its associate degree program. The objective is to give students opportunity to get familiar with different type of engineering graphics from 2D to 3D and from general graphics to mechanical engineering specific graphics gradually so they can apply these engineering graphics skills in their senior courses such as in machine design. Despite the extensive offering …

Attracting College and High School Students to Study Engineering Technology Engineering technology encompasses many engineering technology fields: mechanical engineering technology, electrical engineering technology, and computer engineering technology, etc. This poster presents the work on using hands-on mechatronics design activities to attract high school and college students to study engineering technology. Technology education has been a key in producing college graduates to work in today’s fast paced, highly competitive public and private enterprises. Unfortunately, the supply of qualified workforce has been reduced in the United States due to the steady drop of enrollment of college and high school students in STEM …
