NMC Code 557

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 electronics technology specializations provides  students with a customizable pathway consisting of a strong electronics, lasers, and controls foundation.  Additional courses are then selected in programmable logic controllers (PLCs), robotics and automation, or other technical content. This prepares the learner for a career in electrical systems, mechatronics, biomedical, and more.

Areas of Emphasis:

• Electrical Studies
• Microcontroller Programing
• Industrial Controls
• Programmable Logic Controllers

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.
