Engineering & Design Technology Program
Today’s world is driven by design. Everything we use is someone’s idea brought to life. Between the idea and the product is the technician. These technicians are people who are skilled at using technology to take an idea and make it real. It could be a blueprint, a 3-d model, a prototype, or any kind of imagery that helps people better understand what the idea is, and the potential that it has.
Iowa Central’s Engineering and Design Technology program will give you the basic foundation you need to be a valued asset in the world of manufacturing. You will enjoy courses that will develop your skills in creating the images, the models, and the prints that engineers and designers need to make their ideas come to life.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, the world is waiting for all the things you have to say.
