The Mechanical Design Technician program is an associate degree program at Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College in Rice Lake, Wisconsin.
Students explore principles of mechanical design through hands-on experience.
The student will apply learned engineering skills in both an individual and team environment. Students will construct working drawings of machine parts, including gears, cams, sheet metal, and castings. Parts are then incorporated into a finished assembly drawing of the product. Problem-solving and group brainstorming sessions are common and encouraged. CAD programs are continually upgraded to keep pace with industry standards.
