The Associate of Applied Science Engineering Technology program provides students
with an entry point into the exciting world of engineering technology applications.
With a focus on a heuristic approach to technology, this program appeals to students
who have an understanding of technical concepts but a desire to work with technology
in a more hands-on applied manner than engineering programs. The Engineering Technology
program has three concentrations to allow students to tailor their educational path
to their specific interests. The concentration areas include Civil Engineering Technology,
Electrical Engineering Technology and Mechanical Engineering Technology.
The Associate of Applied Science in Engineering Technology, Mechanical Concentration
(AAS-ETMET) prepares graduates to work in the field of machines and manufacturing.
Graduates have the technical knowledge, problem solving ability, and hands-on skills
to enter careers in the design, installation, manufacturing, testing, evaluation,
technical sales, and/or maintenance of mechanical systems. Graduates can select employment
from many areas, such as manufacturing, maintenance, modification of design, power
generation, technical laboratory operation, technical sales, testing and analysis,
and field engineering services.
