Engineering Technology AAS
About Engineering Technology AAS
If you're interested in why a system is designed in a particular fashion and how it works, earning your Engineering Technology AAS will provide you the opportunity to acquire hands-on technical skills that will enable you to solve production and system implementation problems and help you explain solutions. Learn using state-of-the-art technology like mathematical computational software, computer-aided design (CAD) and simulation technology and help fill the growing need for college-educated problem solvers who can support the engineering process.
The Engineering Technology AAS encompasses the stackable Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Machining Certificate, the Advanced Manufacturing Certificate, the Industrial Maintenance Technician Certificate and the Architectural and Engineering Design Technology Certificate.
All courses in this Fast Track program are arranged in a sequence that provides optimal learning opportunities. You're required to follow the integrated program sequence.

Semesters to complete assumes students are taking a full-time credit load of 12 credits per semester (the minimum required for federal financial aid).
Proportion of students completing in normal time is the percentage of completers who earned the credential within the specified time of their first enrollment at the College.
Students attending part-time or changing their program of study are two common reasons why they may not complete in "normal" time.
Tuition and fees are set by the Board of Trustees. Prices for books and supplies are subject to change.
