NMC Code 545

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.

The computer technology specialization offers a hybrid curriculum consisting of the engineering technology core (electronics, fluid power, and CADD) and a broad computer technologies experience in programming and applications. This approach provides students with the technical core to be successful in diverse environments that require IT skills integrated around a manufacturing process or product development.

Areas of Emphasis:

• Programming Logic & Design
• Application Development
• HTML5 & CSS Programming
• Relational Databases
• JavaScript Programming
• Object-Oriented Programming

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