Engineering Technology: Technical Design (AAS)

Successful completion of this AAS program will help prepare graduates with the knowledge, skills, and ability to function effectively, either singly or as a member of a team developing a technical project, which might involve design, construction, installation, manufacturing, testing, evaluation, research, data, or maintenance, with a focus on Technical Design.

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of this program, successful students will have demonstrated the ability to apply their skills and knowledge in the following ways:

1. Apply the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of the discipline to narrowly defined technological activities;
2. Apply their knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to engineering technology problems that require limited application of principles but extensive practical knowledge;
3. Conduct standard tests and measurements, collect data, and conduct, analyze, and interpret data and/or experiments;
4. Function effectively as a member of a technical team;
5. Identify, analyze, and solve narrowly defined engineering technology problems;
6. Apply written, oral, and graphical communication in both technical and non-technical environments;
7. Identify and use appropriate technical literature such as blueprints and specifications.
8. Engage in, and understand the need for, self-directed continuing professional development;
9. Address professional and ethical responsibilities, including a respect for diversity; and a commitment to quality, timeliness, and continuous improvement.
10. Research, plan, and complete a project, including consideration for processes, budgets, material, and time.
