Engineering Technology is essentially the link between engineering design and machine operation. Engineering Technicians work with Engineers in the design progress prototyping systems and testing designs. They work with existing systems during and after production to make sure the manufacturing process is working properly and change the processes if necessary. After manufacturing, technicians are involved in troubleshooting and repair of systems “in the field.” We offer Engineering Technology programs specializing in Electronics, Industrial systems, Computers, and Electronic Communications.
