Careers In Engineering Technology

Opportunities for employment exist for engineering technicians in aerospace, electrical and electronic, maintenance, industrial, mechanical, electro-mechanical, environmental, and civil engineering fields.

Courses in Engineering Technology Electrical Track

After completing the first year of common courses in the Fundamentals of AutoCAD, DC circuits, machining, PC applications in technology, hydraulics/pneumatics and technical math and calculus, students will have the opportunity to focus on any track from three fields of engineering technology: electrical, mechanical and manufacturing.

Students with employment or job shadow opportunity in a technical field will be able to do technology-based practicum or internships in an industrial setting.

Note: ENGT and MATH courses in this degree are offered only once per year. Some courses require a specific sequence. To complete this degree within 2 years, please follow the recommended Track outline. This program is intended to start in the Fall. See faculty contact person to discuss alternatives.
