Careers

Our students learn in three integrated ways. First, students learn by exploring theory, internalizing ideas necessary to succeed in the field.  Then they learn by practice, familiarizing themselves with the processes needed to complete tasks. Finally, they learn by doing, using our modern facilities to gain hands-on experience with the equipment and processes they will be dealing with in their future careers. 

Engineering Technology graduates may be responsible for tasks such as: designing new products and tools using computer-aided design (CAD), applying knowledge of quality control to improve production efficiency, coordinating new product development and the implementation of new production equipment, and troubleshooting production problems to improve efficiency.

Key skill areas include:

• Ability to research a technical problem or new technology, present what was found and present viable alternatives
• Thinking logically
• Ability to research and embrace new technology
• Applying computer applications
• Working well with people
• Ability and desire to learn
