We have designed two entry-levelcourses that are designed for both AS and AAS students to take together.In our Mechanical Design and Prototyping course both Engineering Science andPrecision Machining students learn to use CAD and CAM software in lecture and thenfabricate their designs using manual and CNC machines in lab. Faculty from bothdepartments team-teach the course which entails a final design-build project and coursecompetition. A series of short instructional videos have been created to supplement classinstruction.Our Digital Electronics course is taken by both Engineering Science and ComputerTechnology students
