Program Description: The Associate in Applied Science (AAS) in Engineering Technology program is designed to provide skills required of entry-level engineering technicians. Students are provided with the fundamentals of physics, engineering, computer hardware, programming, engineering design fundamentals, and computer software program usage. A solid foundation in mathematics, science, communication skills, humanities, and social sciences provides a well-rounded curriculum.

Suggested Course Plan Sequenced by Semester:

Engineering Technology – Civil/Construction/Chemical Emphasis

Engineering Technology – Computer System Engineering Emphasis

Engineering Technology – Biomedical Emphasis

Engineering Technology – Mechanical/Aerospace (Aeronautics) Emphasis

Engineering Technology – Robotics, Electrical Systems, Mechanical Systems

Engineering Technology – Industrial Engineering Emphasis

Program Notes:

· *Indicates any approved general education course in the core or distribution area that meets the minimum requirements for an Associates of Applied Science degree is allowed. Please refer to the college catalog for a list of approved courses.

· Students must earn a grade of "C" or better for all courses within the program.

Program Pathway Notes: Program sequence is based on a full-time student schedule (12 credits or more per semester). If you are a part-time student, the order of these classes will be helpful but it will take additional terms to complete. This version of the program will be used for advising and student planning purposes. Any developmental course requirements should be completed prior to starting the courses listed belowas they may be required for enrollment in courses listed in the term sequence.

BIOMEDICAL EMPHASIS: FALL OR SPRING SEMESTER ENTRY

Program Prerequisites: 0-17 Credits

The credit hour range is subject to change depending on the students educational experiences. PHY111 and PHY112 are also strongly recommended for those who have not completed one year of high school physics with a grade of C or better.

Advising Note: Students needing to take any of the prerequisite courses listed here would be served by also completing some of their general education courses (such as ENG, HU and/or SB) during this/these semesters to lighten their loads during subsequent terms.
