STTS offers a certificate program in Mechanical Design Technology. We recognize that many employers place value on a certificate which authenticates specialized educational preparation. The program concentrates upon basic core courses with skill development and job upgrading being the primary objectives. Through this course, you can learn how to use AutoCAD, the most popular Computer Aided Design(CAD)program today by enrolling in one of the special course that we offer. Design with AutoCAD may work in many areas, including product design and development, and manufacturing and production for organizations ranging from large multi-national corporations to small local shops. The need for competent board draftspersons continues and the demand for qualified CAD operators has exploded as companies take advantage of this progressive technology.

With AutoCAD, SolidWorks 2001 is the leading mainstream CAD solution. It is a powerful, easy to use innovative CAD tool. evaluates more design alternatives, reduces errors, and enhances product quality. Only SolidWorks 2001 offers the solid modeling power and performance to get any job done, while being intuitive enough for every engineer and designer to learn. If you know Microsoft Windows, you're well on your way to designing with SolidWorks 2001. The unique drag-and-drop capabilities of SolidWorks allow you to build assemblies in record time. Manage your CAD files easily using SolidWorks Explorer, the only CAD file manager that is as intuitive as Windows Explorer. The solidWorks 2001 makes possible to get more work done in less time and bring better quality products to market faster.

This introductory class to CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) machining is designed for experienced machinists and machine operators who need or want to update their skills in CNC operations, setups and programming. Students learn to program, set up and operate CNC lathes and mills. They are taught programming commands (machine commands and addresses), sequence of operations in CNC machining and programming, and data transfer from computer to CNC machine. Students also learn the fundamental use of a computer aided manufacturing(CAM) system. Instruction time is divided equally between classroom, computer lab, and shop, providing an unusual blend of practical theory and hands-on experience. Upon graduation, students are able to perform setups of moderate complexity in CNC machining and turning centers. CNC graduates may find beginning to intermediate-level work in the machining trade as a CNC Machinist.

Advanced CNC Machining is offered to students who desire to attain greater proficiency in CNC machining. MasterCAM is the CAD/CAM system used to teach students to program multiple-part locations and multiple operations per setup; macro and conditional program statements; and advanced canned cycles. Students are taught to upload and download files to machine stations and other computers. Instruction time is divided equally between classroom, computer lab, and shop, providing an unusual blend of practical theory and hands-on experience. Upon graduation, students are able to perform complex setups in CNC machining, including CAD/CAM operations upon graduation and may find advanced-level work in the machining trade.

This program is designed to provide beginning through advanced training in the MasterCAM CAD/CAM system of CNC programming. Students learn 2D wire-frame construction, basic 3D programming, and the role of CAD/CAM system in manufacturing. They also learn to define tool paths, and to prepare and modify part programs. Students learn to develop models and study tooling usage for this type of machining. They also learn the basics of surface construction, including surface, model, edge-curve creation, and surface shading and dialog. Upon graduation, students may find intermediate to advanced-level work in the machining trade as a CAD/CAM programmer.

This course is designed to instruct students in inspection techniques including SPC, hands-on training for all inspection tools, surface setup skills and use of Co-ordinate Measuring Equipment. CMM machine set up and operation, inspection records and record keeping requirements are covered in the program. Instruction time is divided equally between classroom, and shop, providing students with different environments to learn in.
After graduation, students will qualify for beginner-level positions in the machining industry as a Mechanical Inspector and Technician with good pay.

This course is designed to instruct students in inspection techniques and use of Co-ordinate Measuring Machine, not only manual CMM but also automated(DCC/CNC) CMM, which is called Measuring robot. CMM machine set up and operation, inspection records and record keeping requirements are covered in the program. Instruction time is divided equally between classroom, and shop, providing an unusual blend of practical theory and hand-on experience. Upon graduation. students qualify for intermediate-level positions in the machining industry as a CMM Inspector, CMM Operator, and CMM Programmer with high income.
