Associate in Applied Science Degree (4-5 semesters)
Short-Term Certificates (1-2 Semesters)
The engineering technology curriculum is designed to prepare a graduate to apply basic engineering principals and technical skills in support of engineers engaged in a wide variety of projects. The program includes instruction in various engineering support functions for research, production, operations, and applications to specific engineering specialties.
Engineering Technology consists of an A.A.S. Degree (5 semesters) in Engineering Technology or an A.A.S. Degree (5 semesters) Advanced Engineering Technology or an A.A.S. Degree in Construction Management Technology. Short-Term Certificates are offered in Architectural Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology, Civil Engineering Technology, Advanced Design, 3D Graphic Science, Additive Manufacturing, Basic CAD, Building Construction Science, and Construction Science.
Students must have a high school diploma or GED and meet all other general admission requirements of WSCC.
The specialized sequence of theory and laboratory work includes the ability to develop and understand the facets of engineering and of its relation to society; maintain high standards of industry and workplace codes, rules, and regulations regarding standards and safety; demonstrate manual and computer-assisted techniques employed by professional engineers and project managers; provide drawings with specialized applications, development of views, renderings, 3-D solids, and plotting; develop an understanding of requirements related to residential and small commercial development and construction; understand and possess basic knowledge relative to multiple commercial applications including estimating, Licensure, and regulations.
Graduates can expect to acquire a position as an engineering technician in the various fields of mechanical, civil, structural, and architectural, pipe or electrical design. Students may choose to pursue a career in construction management if classes are taken in that specialized area. Earnings for an engineering technician vary by specialty and level of responsibility. Annual earnings of architectural and civil technicians reached between $49,980 and $53,480 in 2016. Similar numbers of mechanical technicians earned more than $54,480, and electrical and electronics technicians more than $62,190. (Source: U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics).

This course introduces students to concepts that enable them to think like a designer when approaching architectural, engineering and additive manufacturing tasks. Emphasis will be placed on design and problem-solving skills when working independently, or with a team. This course focuses on giving students exposure to creativity, problem-solving skills, and the design processes in which a design-centered approach will be employed to develop innovated solutions. This course includes components to develop basic skills to express innovated solutions to design problems with the application of projects, drawings, as well as oral and written communication skills. Students will be intriduced to related computer based tools used by architects, engineers, and design manufacturers. (e.g., spreadsheet, word processing, presentation software, and Internet).
As required by program.
In this class, students will utilize the various Additive Manufacturing (AM) design software to learn different techniques of building additively. Student will engage in using the software and build theory to discover best build for the part. Tool paths, angles, rotation and build support will be discussed. Additive process will include polymers and powders. Cost and build time will be calculated on the different build parameters.
