Program Description:
The Engineering Technology program is designed to prepare the student for an entry-level position assisting engineers in their work. Engineering technicians use the principles and theories of science, engineering, and mathematics to solve technical problems not requiring calculus in research and development, manufacturing, sales, construction, inspection, and maintenance. Their work involves the more practical side of science and engineering and often requires the use of computer-aided design (CAD) equipment.
A.A.S. degrees are offered in civil and mechanical engineering technology. Civil engineering involves the design and construction of roads, buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, bridges, water supply systems, and waste water treatment facilities. Mechanical engineering involves the design and maintenance of equipment, engines, tools, and various machines from robotics used in manufacturing to climate control equipment.
Students who successfully complete the requirements for an A.A.S. Degree in Engineering Technology will be able to:
-
Manage an engineering project from the initial concept stage to completion;
-
Apply engineering principles and CAD skills to assist an engineer with the design and drawing of mechanical equipment or construction projects;
-
Conduct tests to determine the strength of a material or to determine the cause of a mechanical failure; and
-
Conduct surveys to determine elevations and boundaries using surveyors equipment or to evaluate a site for potential hazards.
