PROGRAM
INFORMATION
Students who enjoy solving problems and want to work with
sophisticated robots should consider General Engineering
Technology. The program teaches students how computers
communicate with machines. Students learn to program and
troubleshoot computers, robots, and automated equipment.
This degree prepares the student to pursue a career as an
electromechanical or automation technician.
SCHEDULING
AND ENTRY OPTIONS
Program courses are offered during the day beginning in
the Fall Semester of each year. Entry during any other term
will be permitted but may limit the courses that may be
available. Courses are offered in the fall, spring and summer
terms on a one-time per year basis for most of the required
General Engineering Technology courses. General Education
course requirements can be completed at any time during the
program, with the exception of math and physics. Courses can
be completed in any order, subject to the completion of course
prerequisites. A student taking maximum loads can complete
the program in six terms.
