Engineering Technology [2040 / 2540]

Print this Page

Associate in Science Degree

(60 Credit Hours)

Program Goal:

The purpose of this program is to prepare students for employment in engineering technology and related occupations. The program also provides updated training for incumbent workers employed as production technicians in manufacturing, electronics, industrial design, biomedical and related industries. The degree has a specialization in alternative energy and four college credit certificates: engineering support specialist, alternative energy, electronics, and digital design and modeling. Eighteen hours of the engineering technology core have been aligned with the Manufacturing Skills Standard Council’s (MSSC) industry certification.

Program Entrance Requirements

To be admitted to the Engineering Technology Degree Program, a student must have:

Achieved a level of mathematics proficiency that qualifies the student for entry into +MAC 1105 or higher, as demonstrated by the standard placement criteria currently in use at SCF; and
Achieved a level of English and reading proficiency that qualifies the student for entry into ENC 1101 or higher, as demonstrated by the standard placement criteria currently in use at SCF.

Note(s):

** A grade of “C” or better must be attained for all courses taken for this degree.

⁺ Students may elect to earn an SCF A.A.S. degree if they complete MTB 1321 in place of the A.S. degree program’s minimum mathematics requirement [2540]. Note: The Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree currently is being reviewed at the state level with the possibility that it will no longer be available effective Fall 2012.

Articulated credit from a technical institute/secondary school may be applicable. Contact the SCF director of career and technical education for more information.

Related certificates also are offered. See certificate programs listing.

Note: This degree articulates to SCF’s Energy Technology Management for a Bachelor’s in Applied Science degree. An A.S. degree in this field will transfer to Daytona State College toward the B.S. in Engineering Technology.
