If you enjoy solving problems and want to work with sophisticated robots, you should definitely consider Engineering Systems Technology. The program teaches students how computers communicate with machines. You'll 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.
We have also designed an engineering science transfer certificate that covers courses ordinarily required of first-year students in a four-year engineering program. Learn more.
A Solid Career Outlook
An Engineering Systems Technology degree opens the door to a wide variety of career paths including Engineering Design Technician, Electronics Technician, Laser Technician, Automation Technician, Electro-Mechanical Technician, and Robotics Technician. Technicians are responsible for modifications to assembly lines, building and designing circuit boards, and programming robots.

Exciting Student Projects
We are excited to offer opportunities for students to work on exciting projects to help them develop skills in robotics, lasers, sensors and so much more. We learn lots and have fun along the way. Check out one of our most recent projects, a "Greeter-Bot," designed and created by our students to guide visitors around Cleveland Hall, among other things. The robot has the ability to speak using an on-board voice synthesizer and can detect human beings using its infrared temperature sensor. Much was learned by studying AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) at Sandvik during a field trip to that plant.
