Certificate(s)
If you are interested in an exciting and rewarding career where people and technology come together, engineering technology may be for you. Specialized courses in engineering technology emphasize application more than theoretical development. The program provides classroom studies with hands-on, high-tech laboratories. The student will use the tools of mathematics, science and telecommunications, as well as the calculator, computer, telecommunication networks and other laboratory equipment.
Engineering technologists fill entry-level positions in industry, which include: circuit diagnostics, laboratory and field-testing, manufacturing and assembly, quality assurance, technical sales, field service and certification of new installation projects. They are involved with all products and systems of industry, including radios, radars, computers, network/wireless telecommunications applications and security systems, robots, audio and video systems, automotive electronics, medical instruments and navigation systems.
Offered specializations provide our students the opportunity for employment in some of the following job functions: • Service Shop Technician
• Industrial Manufacturing Technician
• Laboratory Technician
• Field Service Technician
• Wireless Telecommunication Technician
• Engineering Assistant/Associate Engineer
• Technical Writer
• Technical Sales
The core courses will transfer to a variety of colleges and universities. Contact a counselor or faculty adviser for specific information.
