NMC Code 547

Engineering technology education focuses primarily on the applied aspects of science and engineering aimed at preparing graduates for practice in that portion of the technological spectrum closest to product improvement, manufacturing, construction, and engineering operational functions.

The NMC Engineering Technology degree offers students a broad-based curriculum across all areas of technical education, preparing the graduates for emerging job markets and highly technical fields.

NMC has created a unique  training center that specializes in Unmanned Aerial  System (UAS) operations. More commonly called drones, unmanned aircraft represent a sector of aviation that is experiencing exponential growth. NMC is here to provide college students, enthusiasts, and professionals the training they need to begin operating in the UAS industry.  The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has selected NMC's UAS training program for the Unmanned Aircraft Systems-Collegiate Training Program, or the UAS-CTI.

Areas of Emphasis:

• Earn an FAA Commercial Drone Pilot certification
• Hands-on flight training from entry level to advanced commercial-grade aircraft systems
• Learn about the aircraft systems and different camera/sensor technology
• Train for a variety of UAS of specializations, such as aerial photography, agriculture, inspections and land survey
• Learning how to be marketable to the UAS industry

Within this degree students will have the opportunity to earn the following: Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification, CSWA Certified Solidworks Associate, ISPS Connector and Conductor, and PCEP- Certified Entry-Level Python Programmer.
