Introduction
This AAS Degree is designed to provide the student with knowledge of the practical application of principles, techniques, procedures, and equipment to the design and production of various goods and services. Engineering Technology graduates will be able to assist engineers in designing, developing, using, and maintaining all types of equipment. They will work independently or in teams doing product evaluation and testing, where they adjust, test, and repair equipment. Additionally, Technologists may be involved in the manufacturing, deployment, or servicing of equipment. With 16 elective credit options, the program can be customized to meet a student’s or employer’s interest. Students who graduate with this degree may consider transferring to another college or university to complete a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering Technology.
There are two ways to complete the Engineering Technology AAS Degree:
- The traditional route of completing all courses.
- Individuals who have successfully completed the Department of Labor Apprenticeship Certificate may be able to apply 21-45 credits toward the completion of an Engineering Technology AAS.
All program-required courses must be completed with a grade of 2.0 or better.
