SLCC Engineering Technology Certificate Program

The SLCC Engineering Technology Certificate is a industry certification put out by Salt Lake Community College. It is possible to obtain the certificate as a high school student, but it is the college that awards the certificate after the completion of their requirements.

SLCC Program Description

Engineering Design/Drafting Technology is a profession that encompasses a variety of engineering disciplines that are always in high demand: mechanical, civil, piping, electronics, structural, and industrial. Students develop skills in technical drafting, CAD (Computer Aided Design), and the drafting practices specific to each of these discipline areas. Drafters and designers are an integral part of a project team in every field, developing the drawings and designs for fabrication and construction.

How to get the certificate
