Engineering Technology

The Engineering Technology Program provides students with skills in computer aided drafting, surveying (Civil option), Solid Modeling and CNC Machining (Mechanical option), and other related skill sets. Computer technology is opening new educational and employment horizons and LCSC’s Engineering Technology program maintains close contact with industry leaders to track the latest opportunities. The program’s computer equipment maximizes industry relevant, "hands-on", training for each student. Cooperative professional/technical education (with local employers) may be included in the program with advisor approval; furthering the effort to maintain the relevant education students and employers need. The Engineering Technology Program combines laboratory experience with general education and technical education courses. Field trips to manufacturing plants and construction sites may be arranged during the program. Students are required to purchase necessary drafting equipment, textbooks, and reference materials. Lap-top computers, relevant software and appropriate calculator are strongly encouraged. A Bachelor of Applied Technology degree or a Bachelor of Applied Science degree is offered upon completion of the A.A.S. Degree.

For students choosing to specialize their studies, one of three optional endorsements may be selected. In the second year of the program, students electing not to take the General (Traditional) Program may direct their study emphasis towards Geographic Information Systems, Civil or Mechanical disciplines, which would result in an A.A.S. degree in Engineering Technology with emphasis in the selected discipline.

Entrance requirements for degree seeking students in the Engineering Technology program include:

• Compass scores of 68 or higher in English, 73 or higher in Reading, and 46 or higher in Math (Algebra), or qualify for Math(PT) 137, English 101, and Communications 101.

• Enrollment priority will be given students on the basis of student’s enrollment date.
