This program educates technicians in the manufacturing field, emphasizing mathematics and science courses to give students the knowledge to cope with changing technology.
Course work incorporates the theory and practice of manufacturing from planning and layout through the operation and control phases. Extensive computer applications are part of the program, including computer-aided drawing/modeling and automation in manufacturing. English and social sciences are taught to broaden students’ perspective and improve communication skills.

- At least three years of college preparatory math (Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry) with a C or higher
- All engineering technology applicants should have satisfactorily completed high school-level courses in Chemistry and Physics.
Graduates are able to:
- Apply knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of math, science, engineering, and technology to solve engineering problems.
- Design technical solutions and assist with the engineering design of systems, components, and processes.
- Apply written, oral, and graphical communication in technical and non-technical environments and
identify and use appropriate technical literature. - Conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and analyze and interpret the results.
- Function effectively as a member of a technical team.
Program Objectives
- Prepare graduates for professional entry-level positions with the engineering technical skills to meet the demands of industry in mechanical design, manufacturing, and industrial automation.
- Prepare graduates with the skills necessary to enter a four-year bachelor’s degree program.
- Prepare graduates with skills to meet the technical needs of an ever-changing society.
- Prepare graduates to communicate in a diverse world with respect to social awareness and ethical issues.
Graduates are employed in positions such as production planners, management assistants, material planners, and manufacturing engineering technicians.
