If you're scientifically minded and also love to tinker and work with your hands, we have an engineering program for you. With an associate degree in Engineering Technology, you can combine your interests and enter the workforce as a hands-on engineering technician immediately after graduation. Where you work depends upon the concentration you chose—mechanical, electrical or nanofabrication. You will find jobs in instrumentation, communications, energy systems and mechanical structures and systems.
Our hands-on teaching approach integrates various science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Through our coursework you build a solid foundation in applied math and physical sciences, which helps you communicate and work effectively with engineering professionals.
In our Engineering Technology program you will:
- identify and describe component and system-level engineering problems using state-of-the-art testing equipment;
- design and develop concepts in a 3D solid modeling environment to address the industrial demands of today’s technology;
- analyze student-created engineering models using appropriate general calculations;
- apply theoretical attributes of electrical-mechanical components to systems design;
- create and present a final project using all of the above skills plus good oral communication
and technical writing.
