Background:

General Engineering Technician program is stackable certificate and mapped to the common skills and knowledge as described in Standard Occupational Code (SOC) SOC 17-3027 of Bureau of Labor Statistics. The rigor of the program is set by Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology (ABET) standards, which has the requirement of Pre-Calculus and Physics.

Program Goals and outcomes:

• Apply written, oral, and graphical communication in both technical and non-technical environments.
• Apply the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of the discipline to narrowly defined engineering technology activities.
• Conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments, analyze and interpret the results
  
• Function effectively as a member of a technical team.
