Study mechanical technology at JCC
The Mechanical Technology degree with a design concentration at Jamestown Community College prepares you for employment in mechanical or industrial engineering technology. While at JCC, you’ll develop skills in math, physics, and computer science as you learn how to make professional mechanical drawings according to industry standards, which can be sent anywhere in the world for the creation of parts.
Graduates can pursue roles such as machine and tool designer, industrial laboratory technician, inspector, production control technician, safety technician, and CAD operator. Graduates can also transfer and earn a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering technology.
