Technology & Engineering

TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING

The engineering technology program is a hands-on, project-based approach to learning that better prepares students for entrance into college engineering and/or engineering technology programs. Coursework uses real-world problem solving that answers the age-old student question, “Why do I need to know this?” There are five courses in the Engineering Technology Sequence. Course content is designed to help students explore how engineers and engineering technicians integrate math, science, and communications skills into their profession. Engineering Technology students will engage in the research, design, and construction of models/prototypes in a variety of areas including electrical, fluid, structural, and mechanical systems.
