Curriculum Maps


Curriculum Maps are a tool to provide students with a clear understanding of which courses to take and the order in which to complete them. Curriculum Maps help define a student’s individual path towards graduation, ensuring their time and efforts are not spent on credits that fall outside their program of study.

Each map identifies critical courses that must be completed in order to progress through the program and graduate. Curriculum Maps come complete with helpful hints for students - like recommended course electives and a reminder to apply to graduate.

Notes


*Credit students who are new to college (no successfully completed transferable college credits from other institutions) are required to take ACDV 101 - Academic Development 101 . This 1-credit course is designed to be taken in the first semester at CCBC. Students must provide an official transcript(s) from an accredited institution to document successful completion of college coursework for the ACDV 101 requirement to be waived.

 **MATH 165  Pre-Calculus II or higher may be substituted for MATH 135 .

Program Description


The Engineering Technology program is designed to prepare the student for an entry-level technician position in an engineering-related field, generally working under the direction of an engineer, field superintendent, or project manager. Engineering technicians use the principles and theories of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to inspect, service, maintain, diagnose, repair, and operate a variety of equipment, systems, and software. They are trained to solve technical problems, not requiring calculus, and typically work in a variety of fields including research and development, manufacturing, construction, inspection, maintenance, surveying, mapping, drafting and design, and electronics. Their work involves the more practical side of engineering and often requires the use of various computer applications, including 3D modeling software.

The Associate of Applied Science degree in Engineering Technology is offered with four Areas of Concentration (AOC), of which students will select one on which to focus.

The Electro-Mechanical AOC involves coursework focused on the use, design, maintenance, and analysis of equipment, engines, tools, and various machines from robotics used in manufacturing to climate control equipment. This AOC also involves the design, maintenance, and analysis of electronic instrumentation and controls, circuits, electronic communications, process controls, robotics, and electrical equipment.

Program Outcomes


Upon successful completion of this degree, students will be able to:

  1. Examine foundational engineering-related problems and applications related to various engineering disciplines. 
  2. Apply engineering principles and computer skills in the design of mechanical equipment and/or electronic circuits. 
  3. Interpret schematic, mechanical, and power drawings to build/modify, troubleshoot, install, operate, and maintain fluid power and electro-mechanical equipment. 
  4. Evaluate the strength of commonly used materials across a variety of applications. 
  5. Analyze electronic, digital, and analog circuits, as well as embedded and Programmable Logic Control system problems and failures.
