ITT  School of Drafting and Design

Drafting is a graphic language used by industry to communicate ideas and plans from the creative-design stage through production. Computer drafting and design is a one way to produce drawings in traditional design and drafting fields. This program combines wherever appropriate computer-aided drafting with conventional methods of graphic communication to solve drafting and basic design-related problems. The program will help graduates prepare to work in entry-level positions in many diverse areas of technical drafting and design.

Mt. Hood Community College

Engineering and Engineering Technology MHCC offers associate of applied science degrees in Architectural, Civil and Mechanical Engineering Technology. All three Engineering Technology degrees are designed to put graduates to work after completion of two years of education. These graduates would be technicians who work along with and assist engineers or other experienced professionals in industry. Engineering is the educational path to take if you want to become a professional engineer, or an engineer responsible for applying high levels of mathematics, science, and research in design. This educational path would require at least four years of college education and a Bachelor’s of Science degree. Mt. Hood offers the first two years of Engineering education, and students would transfer their credits and complete their degree in Civil, Mechanical or Electrical Engineering at a university.
