Engineering Technology - Marine Technology, Associate of Applied Science
NMC Code 541
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.
Marine Technology provides a background in applied fundamentals including engineering technology, GIS, data processing, and underwater acoustics. Includes practical laboratory experiences in onshore, nearshore, and offshore areas of the Great Lakes.
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.
