Program Overview

The Engineering Technology program enables graduates to work in the field of engineering technology specializing in the areas of mechanical or industrial engineering technology. The programs are designed to meet the growing need created by the technology revolution for college-educated problem solvers who can support the engineering process.

The Engineering Technology Program includes scientific and engineering principles relevant to a student’s chosen field. Students will come to understand why a system is designed in a particular fashion and how it works.

In addition, engineering technology students will acquire hands-on technical skills that enable them to solve production and system implementation problems and help them explain solutions.

The Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Machining Program is designed for students interested in operating CNC equipment. The program focuses on machining operations using the mill and lathe. The skills learned in this program are directly applicable in the operation of computer-controlled machines performing one or more machine functions on metal or plastic work pieces. Students will be introduced to CNC programming using G codes and conversational programming.

The primary purpose of an Associate in Applied Science degree is to prepare students for employment. The AAS degree is not designed specifically for transfer; however, there are opportunities to apply some coursework or the whole degree to a bachelor’s degree program. For more information, see an academic advisor and the department chair.
