Engineering Technology
Southern Utah University is one of only a handful of institutions that offer a bachelor’s degree in engineering technology with an emphasis in CAD/CAM & Architectural/Civil Design. In our program, students gain experience in mechanical design, architectural design, civil design, layout and design, 3D solid modeling, parametrics, kinematics’ analysis, finite element analysis, animation analysis, rendering, rapid prototyping and more. Graduates who possess these skills are in high demand.
Instructors meet regularly with industry leaders to fine tune courses to ensure they provide the skill sets needed for our students to become top- earning professionals in the field. Instructors work closely with each student, making sure that all concepts and skills are mastered and that each graduate is ready to confidently provide architectural design in a busy architectural firm.
