Computer-Aided Design (CAD) is the process of creating 3D Virtual Models of components and assemblies, and 2D drawings that fully describe the product. The Mechanical Designer, while using a wide variety of CAD software, develops the product and creates drawings following standardized practices through International and company-related standards. This program provides learning opportunities in multiple CAD software packages, drawing creation following ASME standards, tool, and machine design, dimension & tolerance per the ASME Y14.5 standard, and introduction to part creation through Manufacturing.

Engineering technology with a Drafting & Design Specialization focuses on mechanical design, material application, and properties. Experiences in manufacturing processes such as injection moulding and small lot casting operations are supported by instruction in AutoCad, Unigraphics CAD, including virtual tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), surface and assembly modelling.

The Computer and Information Technology program prepares students for careers in one of the nation's fastest-growing fields. Students can earn a certificate and/or an associate of applied science degree in one of four specialties, each focused on a different set of skills and interests within the IT field.

The Computer Information Systems (CIS) Program will prepare you for entry-level positions in the field of Information Technology. Under this program, the degrees are targeted toward developing proficiency in software applications, computer programming, and website development.

With computer information technology credentials, you will design, develop, implement, and repair computer software, hardware, and networks. Job responsibilities include maintaining computer networks, training others on operating systems, and troubleshooting.

The Computer Programming associate degree program is a sequence of courses designed to provide students with an understanding of the concepts, principles, and techniques required in computer information processing.

This program provides you with the technical skills and knowledge required to design, write, implement, secure and maintain business software systems in the enterprise. It teaches the principles of software architecture using current development tools, languages and environments.

Learn how to write code and develop games and applications for a living.

Learn how to develop iOS and Web Apps in the rapidly expanding mobile market. The cloud and mobile environments are some of the fastest-growing technology opportunities in modern history.

The Anoka Technical College Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree in Information Technology with an emphasis in Software Development is a 72-credit program designed to prepare graduates to compete for high-paying successful, rewarding careers in IT fields the highest demand, both today and in the future.

The Associate of Applied Science degree in Software Developer/Game Design provides a degree alternative to students interested in programming, database administration, and introductory game development.

Behind every application lies a database or storage that is one of the most valuable assets of any enterprise – it is data. Developed in consultation with professionals in the field, the programming option provides the student with a strong background in programming and data extraction skills necessary for success as a programmer/coder by providing hands-on experience in Python, C++, JAVA, SQL, and other software tools.
