Why Major in Engineering Technology

The Engineering Technology Mechanical Track AAS program provides students with a pathway to diverse career opportunities in industrial settings upon completion of two years of study. The program also offers the flexibility of transferring to a university after graduation. During the first year, students will cover a range of foundational courses including AutoCAD, DC circuits, machining, PC applications, hydraulics/pneumatics and technical math. Subsequently, students can specialize in the mechanical track, alongside electrical and manufacturing options. For those seeking hands-on experience, the program offers technology-based internships in industrial environments to enhance practical skills.
