Electrical Engineering Technology courses incorporate the physical theory and mathematics of circuits, electronics, communications, electrical power and controls, microprocessors, and instrumentation. Mechanical Engineering Technology courses deal with materials, physical theory and mathematics of machinery, materials, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer. Welding Engineering Technology courses involve modern welding methods, welding metallurgy for ferrous and nonferrous metals, and welding design. Design may involve defining objectives, analysis, synthesis, construction, testing, and evaluation. Engineering technology design emphasizes the analysis, fabrication and testing of designs.
Students also learn reporting techniques through the proper preparation of design reports.
Oral reporting is also emphasized. Mathematics and Computer Science Mathematical concepts and principles are fundamental to all work in engineering technology. All Engineering Technology students are required to complete courses in algebra or pre-calculus and trigonometry. Students are introduced to the use of computers in their mathematics courses. You will learn to use a variety of software that will also be used in engineering technology courses.
