Engineering Technology

This certificate provides students with a background for employment in an engineering, manufacturing, or product development firm in support of and under the direction of an engineering professional. Employment opportunities exist in private manufacturing industries, such as aerospace, medical, industrial, or information technology, as an engineering assistant, engineering technologist, or engineering technician. Most of the course requirements are applicable to lower-division preparation leading to a bachelor’s degree in engineering technology at a four-year institution. The support courses allow students to select two courses that will strengthen their preparation for the required core courses. Students should select the support courses based on their previous academic record, their future academic goals, and with input from a counselor or discipline faculty member.

Program Student Learning

Upon completion of this program students will be able to demonstrate engineering and design skills necessary for entry level engineering positions and further academic study in engineering and/or design.
