Engineering Technology, AAS

Engineering technology takes a hands-on approach to engineering. With direct applications of theory, graduates of this program have a highly balanced knowledge of mathematics, general science, technical drawing, engineering theory, and manufacturing fundamentals. Students will be prepared for an entry level career in an engineering or manufacturing environment as mechanical, manufacturing, or quality engineering technicians, or to transfer to a four-year program in engineering technology, manufacturing engineering technology, or engineering management.
