NMC Code 544

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 robotics and automation. This specialization prepares student for careers in the fast-paced world of manufacturing, automation, and control systems. These control systems are present in everything from high-tech manufacturing and robotic processes to amusement park rides.

Areas of Emphasis:

• Microcontroller Programming
• Microcontroller Systems
• Programmable Logic Controllers
• Manufacturing Engineering Process

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.
