Certificate of Achievement, ETEC Advanced

This advanced engineering technology program provides students with a fundamental knowledge of the engineering technology field, engineering design, principles of engineering technology and digital electronics. This degree program develops students’ critical thinking skills through application of principles of engineering technology to solve design, manufacturing and automation problems in the field. Students will be able to design, create and innovate products by selecting appropriate materials and tools while applying engineering technology principles for quality products. The certificate of Engineering Technology Advanced prepares students for transfer to a California State University.

Program Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Apply principles of engineering technology to design problems and constraints

The department expects 10 students to complete each year.
