Students enrolled in the CTECS mechanical design and engineering technology (MDET) program are given instruction in and demonstrate skills and knowledge for entry-level employment in the ever-changing engineering environment. Students are introduced as early as 9th grade to elements of the design process, industry standards, and documenting design specifications through this project-based curriculum. Students advance using 3D solid modeling software for reverse engineering solutions of existing mechanical designs. Every one of our MDET sites has 3D printing capabilities, encouraging manufacturers to collaborate with our students on developing new designs and prototypes.
