makes you more flexible and adaptable.
Indiana State
University’s minor in CAD focuses on the technology of using computers
as a tool to help design, analyze, and produce products, components,
and tooling. Every product, component, machine, and tool has to be
designed. This design doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Designing has to be
managed and integrated with marketing, manufacturing, and other
industrial functions. The design of a product most directly affects
its manufacturability, salability, and cost. The minor in mechanical
technology is very beneficial to anyone involved in industry. Our
faculty members all have industrial experience that contributes to the
quality of our laboratory approach to teaching technology. Students in
the minor gain valuable experience with the theory and application of
CAD, solid modeling, and analysis.
Industrial
technologists are management-oriented technical professionals skilled
at hands-on problem solving. Adept at creating and managing
technology, industrial technologists are also excellent at
communicating and coordinating technical information among customers,
vendors, front-line employees, engineering, and top management. Our
placement is virtually 100%. As a graduate of our program, you can
apply your skills and abilities in careers such as the following.
