Engineering Technology AAS Stackable Credentials
Students can graduate with the AAS degree in engineering technology and a chosen certificate of specialization or proficiency.
Hands On and High Tech
The engineering technology associate in applied science (AAS) program trains students for entry-level jobs through classes, hands-on labs and work experience. Students can earn stackable certificates and degrees, allowing them to start their careers quickly and build on their education over time.
Students can choose from a variety of electives, including courses from the computer aided design, biomedical electronics technician and precision machining technology programs. Credits from these courses can count toward the engineering technology AAS degree, allowing students to graduate with both the AAS and a specialized certificate. With academic planning, it’s possible to complete the degree and multiple certificates in about two years.
About the AAS Program
Engineering Technology Associate in Applied Science (AAS)
The engineering technology AAS program is designed to accommodate new students and those who are already working in the field. Graduates of this two year, 60-credit hour program learn how to translate the engineer's ideas into specific, detailed plans and communicate those plans to other people and departments in any engineering organization.
About the Stackable Certificate Programs
Computer Aided Design Certificate of Specialization (CS)
