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)

The computer aided design (CAD) program prepares students to use CAD to interpret data from multiple sources, apply traditional drafting skills, utilize operating system software and follow industrial practices and company procedures related to CAD work.

Precision Machining Technology Certificate of Specialization (CS)

The precision machining technology program prepares students for entry-level jobs in the machine tool trade. Students learn to safely set up and operate milling machines, lathes, grinders and drill presses. They also learn the basics of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine set up and operation.

Biomedical Electronics Technology Certificate of Proficiency (CP)

The biomedical electronics technology program trains students for careers as biomedical electronics technicians (BMETs). It covers electrical and electronic principles, medical devices, basic science and troubleshooting skills needed for the field.
