    Surry Community College is now offering a diploma as well as a certificate in Engineering

  • 00:04

    Design, which can lead to a career in architecture, civil engineering, and manufacturing.

  • 00:10

    The certificate program only requires six classes whereas the diploma program includes

  • 00:14

    15 classes.

  • 00:16

    High school juniors and seniors can take Engineering Design classes tuition-free through the Career

  • 00:21

    & College Promise dual enrollment program.

  • 00:23

    Hello, my name is Scott Lester, and I am the Instructor for Engineering Design Technology.

  • 00:27

    This is a program that prepares students for a field in drafting, engineering or architectural

  • 00:34

    fields.

  • 00:35

    Companies need drafters because there is a shortage of people who have these skills currently

  • 00:39

    in the job market.

  • 00:41

    Drafters are the engineers’ and architects’ workhorses.

  • 00:44

    Students who also want to become an engineer or architect should take these classes as

  • 00:47

    a stepping stone.

  • 00:49

    Surry’s Engineering Design program classes including Technical Drafting, Computer Aided

  • 00:53

    Drafting or CAD, Solid Modeling and Machine Processes.

  • 00:58

    We use the latest industry standard software including Solid Edge, Solid Works, and AutoCad.

  • 01:03

    The Engineering Design Technology program prepares students to apply technical skills

  • 01:08

    and use advanced computer software and hardware to create working drawings, graphic representations

  • 01:14

    and computer simulations for mechanical and industrial designs.

  • 01:19

    The program has four printers on site ranging from desktop Makerbot printers to the commercial

  • 01:26

    style printer.

  • 01:28

    Students learn about the latest technology in stereolithography, which is another word

  • 01:31

    for 3D printing.

  • 01:32

    We learn about the best methods for printing – proper fit and function of parts so that

  • 01:40

    they go together after being printed.

  • 01:43

    The classes consist of a variety of board work using pencils and paper like they used

  • 01:48

    to do 20, 30 years ago and then we move on up until we get into AutoCAD or 3D type drafting

  • 01:55

    using the computer.

  • 01:57

    And then, from there we transition into 3D modeling and we create 3D models of objects

  • 02:03

    whether it’s machine parts, cast parts, plastic injected molded parts.

  • 02:09

    And from there, we will actually create working drawings that would be ready for manufacturing.

  • 02:17

    One of the most exciting ideas about this program is that you get an idea in your head.

  • 02:24

    You draw it on paper, pass it on to a computer, create it in 3D and even create machining

  • 02:34

    drawings for the machinists to produce a finished product.

  • 02:37

    There’s this project we did in the Solid Works class, which is Drafting 154.

  • 02:46

    This right here is a pipe vice.

  • 02:51

    This program right here it allows you to get a design together, put it in 3D and then from

  • 02:58

    that 3D model, you create a drawing.

  • 03:02

    Those drawings are used in the machining shop.

  • 03:05

    So, you hand those drawings to the machinist, and the machinists creates each part of out

  • 03:11

    metal or whatever material you are using, and they physically assemble the whole part

  • 03:17

    together.

  • 03:19

    It is very helpful to taking machining classes mainly because you see both parts of designing

  • 03:28

    and creating a product.

  • 03:30

    When you are in the design class obviously you are designing a part.

  • 03:35

    However, whenever you are machining, you get that drawing and you implement the design

  • 03:41

    knowledge into machine that you are actually going to cut parts from.

  • 03:47

    Taking drafting classes in high school were very helpful.

  • 03:51

    That’s how I actually kind of got hooked onto doing this program.

  • 03:58

    It also allowed me to get college credit through that program, and it was really fun.

  • 04:06

    It was really fun.

  • 04:07

    I do plan on seeking further education in this field, possibly a degree in Mechanical

  • 04:15

    Engineering.

  • 04:18

    I would recommend Surry Community College to anybody and everybody who’s interested

  • 04:23

    in this engineering program…The instructors here are very helpful.

  • 04:29

    They are patient with their students.

  • 04:32

    They guide you through every single problem that you have in order for you to reach your

  • 04:37

    educational goals.

  • 04:39

    I have always wanted to know how to draw this stuff.

  • 04:43

    I like artistic endeavors because I was a map maker and a webmaster for many years.

  • 04:50

    I never learned how to do CAD, and I have a lot of inventions locked inside my head

  • 04:55

    that I would like to see out in the real world.

  • 04:58

    And, in the past creating a prototype of these things was prohibitively expensive for someone

  • 05:04

    that just went to work for a living every day, but now if you can draw them in the computer

  • 05:09

    in 3D, you can print them out on a 3D printer and you can have a prototype in a few hours,

  • 05:18

    and that is what is most interesting to me about the thing.

  • 05:22

    CAD is used for so many things…So if you are in the construction trade industry, you

  • 05:28

    would be using CAD to do building plans.

  • 05:30

    If you are a mechanical designer, you would use CAD to design mechanical objects like

  • 05:35

    toasters or valves or something like that.

  • 05:39

    If you are in the electrical trades, you are going to use CAD for electrical schematic

  • 05:44

    diagrams and that would hold true if you are in the computer engineering field.

  • 05:52

    PC boards are drawn in CAD now…Engineering drawing is sort of like the language of building

  • 05:58

    things.

  • 05:59

    So if you want to or if you have ideas about how to build something different from what

  • 06:02

    you see today or you are creative in that way and you want to have your ideas put into

  • 06:07

    the marketplace then you are probably going to have to learn how to draw engineering drawings

  • 06:13

    or you are going to have to hire someone to draw your ideas for you.

  • 06:19

    Students can earn a certificate or diploma in Engineering Design Technology at Surry

  • 06:23

    Community College and then qualify for a variety of jobs in mechanical areas such as manufacturing,

  • 06:29

    fabrication, research and development and service industries.

  • 06:33

    Job titles include mechanical drafter, designer, CAD designer and project designer, which pay

  • 06:39

    around $35,000 per year on average for those beginning their careers.

  • 06:44
