The department of Engineering Technology prepares students to assume highly skilled technical and supervisory positions in business and industry. The program contains two Associate of Applied Science degree programs: Electrical Engineering Technology and Engineering Systems Technology. Contained in these two degree programs are specializations in Advanced Manufacturing, Architectural Design, Automation, Biomedical Equipment, Computer Aided Design, Electromechanical, Ingegrated Systems Control, Mechanical Design, and Operations Management. Each of these specializations has a common core of course work designed to provide a fundamental background in general education, and specific course work in Engineering Technology. There is also an Associate of Science degree program in Engineering Technology designed for transfer to select four-year colleges and universities with Engineering Technology programs. Students in the AAS programs are required to take a minimum of 12 semester hours of technical course work at Walters State Community College.
