Students can choose to complete the Mechanical Drafting & Design programs part-time. Part-time students will take longer to complete their program than students who follow the full-time sequence. Because every course may not be offered each semester, it is important for part-time students to reach out to their faculty advisor for help in planning their long-term, part-time course sequence.

Below, new students can find the first semester part-time course options. After the first semester, work with your faculty advisor to plan future semesters.

First Semester Course Options

Fall Semester:

MECH 1216, MATH 1081, MECH 1200, MECH 2064

Spring Semester: 

MECH 1229, MACH 1090, MECH 2074, ENGL 1107 OR ENGL 2105, MECH 2055

View Course Schedule

Notes: Course options differ depending on whether you plan to start in the fall or spring semester. The courses are listed in order of importance; for example, diploma and/or AAS degree students wishing to start in the fall semester with just 1 course would take MECH 1216, if they wish to take 2 courses they would take MECH 1216 with MATH 1081, etc.
