BS Design

The purpose of the design program is to prepare graduates for careers as design technologists; architectural and mechanical. As a design technologist, you may work independently, or you may work as a member of a design team, or you may supervise a design team or manage a design project. Your academic preparation in design focuses on contemporary design practices found in the various engineering disciplines as well as in architecture. Extensive use of technology, including the Internet and design-based programs, are stressed. Opportunities to gain real-life, hands-on experiences are plentiful. These opportunities include but are not limited to part-time and temporary jobs and paying and non-paying co-op or internship positions.
