Program Overview
The Engineering Technology AAS Program prepares you to work in the field of engineering and technology, specializing in electromechanical, industrial, or mechanical design. The program is designed to meet the growing need created by the technology revolution for college-educated problem solvers who can support the engineering process.
The demand for engineering technicians exists throughout McHenry County and the entire country. Product and process selection and creation is dependent upon their efforts. Everything that is planned and fabricated, from aerospace to consumer goods, needs detailed designs that must first be tested and then brought into production. As our society becomes more automated and computer enhanced, the need for these professionals will continue to increase.
Engineering technicians are part of the engineer-scientist-technician team that designs and produces a variety of products. Engineering technicians are involved in a variety of projects, such as Computer Aided Design (CAD), implementing engineering directives, material and product testing, design and implementation of production systems, and customer service.
The Engineering Technology AAS degree program provides a number of pathways to start your career. Students can earn stackable credentials while working towards the Engineering Technology AAS degree, such as the Advanced Engineering Technician Certificate, Architectural and Engineering Design Certificate, and Quality Engineering Certificate depending on which specialization chosen.
