Engineering Technology (AAS)
Program Code: APETCH
Credential: Associate in Applied Science
High Demand Occupation, High Skill Occupation, High Wage Occupation
This program is designed to provide students with the opportunity to develop hands-on skills for careers in high-demand fields like semiconductor and battery manufacturing, industrial electronics, and robotics technology. As the demand for skilled semiconductor and nanotechnology professionals continues to rise in our increasingly connected world, this program aims to strengthen the local workforce, equipping it with the expertise needed to compete on a global scale in this critical industry.
In the Industrial Electronics Concentration, students will develop skills in mechatronics and industrial automation, and will earn the additional Industrial Electronics Technology certificate upon completing the program. In the Semiconductor and Battery Manufacturing Concentration, students will develop skills in robotics and electronics manufacturing, and will earn the additional Semiconductor and Battery Manufacturing and Robotics Technician certificates upon completing the program.
Select one of the following concentrations:
- Industrial Electronics (INEL)
- Semiconductor and Battery Manufacturing (SBM)
