Catalog Description
The Engineering Technology program at Bakersfield College is designed for those who want a hands-on engineering career with a focus on technology in an applied setting. The program provides students with foundational knowledge in mathematics, critical thinking, problem solving, and engineering design, as well as strong technical skills so that students can adapt to the ever-changing modern industrial workplace. Upon completion of the required core classes engineering technology students select elective classes from an engineering discipline (or combination of disciplines) of interest – architectural, civil, industrial drawing, mechanical, electrical/electronics, or occupational safety.
Graduates of associate degree programs seek employment as engineering technicians. Graduates of bachelor degree programs are referred to as technologists and can earn a Professional Engineers license in the state of California. Engineering technicians and technologists serve as members of the engineering team and engage in the management, design, production, assembly, quality control and sales activities in their respective fields.
Cal Poly Pomona, CSU Long Beach, and the California Maritime Academy each have bachelor’s degree programs in engineering technology. Students interested in transferring should meet with a Bakersfield College counselor and plan the courses required for transfer to a four-year college or university to pursue a bachelor’s degree in Engineering Technology.
