CIP: 15.0000
School of Sciences, Health, Engineering and Math, 505-428-1754

This degree provides students with opportunities to acquire the skills necessary to enter the workplace as competent engineering technicians. Nested certificates in General Engineering Technologies, Electrical, Smart Grid and Micro Grid Technologies and Manufacturing Engineering Technologies allow students to focus on distinct career paths. This program combines computer-based modeling with conventional methods in engineering graphics communication. Students use machining as well as instrumentation and control skills to solve basic design-related problems. The program provides foundational learning in regards to critical thinking and problem solving using engineering methods.

NOTE: A.A.S. degrees are designed to prepare students for entry-level positions in specific occupations; they are not generally intended to transfer to four-year institutions. For more information on transfer, refer to the Transfer of Credit  section of this catalog, or speak with an academic advisor.

Students can earn the following certificates included in this degree:
