When engineering meets technology, organizations get things done better, faster and smarter. As an engineering technician, you can make a difference in how the world completes tasks and sees the future. From finding a smarter way to use a certain machine to designing a new way to utilize people in the workplace, the Engineering Technology program gives students the tools to think smarter, not harder.
In the Engineering Technology program, students will build a solid foundation in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) foundations with a special emphasis on teamwork.
After graduation from the Engineering Technology program, students can expect to work in a variety of industries. Typically, there will be a focus on teamwork and strategy to make sure that companies can use software and equipment in ways that will make their business more profitable and efficient.
Graduates of the Associate of Science in Engineering Technology can start their career right away or chose to continue their education at a four-year university in pursuit of a bachelor's degree. Ivy Tech has partnerships with many institutions to ensure student's can transfer their credits seamlessly.
There are more traditional transfer options, as well as our Guaranteed Admissions Pathway that allows qualified graduates to automatically enter into their bachelor's degree program at our two partners:
Engineering technicians take equipment and tools and apply it to engineering processes. For example, if an organization wants to be able to make products faster or with less employees, engineering technicians can help solve that problem. With an Associate of Science in Engineering Technology, graduates will gain the skills and knowledge to help them grow in their career both in the classroom and in the workforce.
An Associate of Science in Engineering Technology degree can be achieved in 4 semesters, or about two years.
Graduates must complete a total of 60 credit hours:
