Engineering Design & Configuration Management
Providence Campus
(School of Technology)
Bachelor of Science (B.S.) Degree
The Engineering Design & Configuration Management bachelor’s degree program complements the two-year Computerized Drafting associate degree. Students build upon their associate degree in Computerized Drafting and integrate CAD software and drafting standards to develop engineering design concepts and configuration management methods and techniques.
Upon completion of the program, graduates are expected to demonstrate the ability to
- Apply knowledge of basic engineering sciences necessary to carry out analysis and design appropriate to product and project development.
- Identify, formulate and solve engineering problems related to product and project development.
- Communicate complex concepts through design principles to create adaptable and efficient solutions to engineering problems.
- Use the tools and materials necessary to design case studies as well as analyze and interpret data.
- Integrate knowledge, tools and problem-solving skills in project and product development.
The Engineering Design & Configuration Management program is comprised of the development of design skills, conventions and standards, and the management of design documentation for products and projects. The organization and design of products parallels the organization and development of projects. Some topics in this program are quality control/professional practice, design and project development, materials and process engineering, standards/codes and ergonomics, configuration management and an introduction to CAD/CAM. Each course is developed for hands-on experience and case studies to prepare the student for professional placement.
Graduates can expect to be part of design and project teams in a product manufacturing field or in areas of project development and management with start-up companies and established organizations.
